INTRODUCTION. 



The publication of genealogies, in which all the branches of a large family 
are traced down to the latest generation, is an American idea which has 
obtained its greatest development in New England, and almost wholly 
within the last half century. The fourth work o! the kind, and the largest 
up to that time, was the Sharpless Genealogy, containing 132 pages of small 
size, published in Philadelphia in 181 6. But one or two others appeared in 
Philadelphia prior to 1850, and of those published elsewhere the aggregate 
bulk would scarcely exceed that of single genealogies of recent date. Now 
these publications number thousands, while numerous genealogical societies 
and magazines foster a spirit of research among the generations long since 
turned to dust. 

The late Samuel L. Smedley appears to have commenced the collection 
of information about his ancestors as early as 1857, and obtained much from 
persons then living which otherwise would not have been accessible at this 
day. After a few years he became acquainted with the compiler of this 
volume, then actively engaged in genealogical work, and a very pleasant 
and conofenial intimacy continued between them during the remainder of his 
life. In 1882 he was amon^ the most interested in the bi-centennial eath- 
ering of the Sharpless Family, and of the association afterward formed to 
guarantee the publication of a revised family history, of which he was the 
leading spirit. The accomplishment of this large work appears to have 
been so satisfactory to him that he decided to entrust the completion of his 
cherished desire, a Smedley Genealogy, to the same author, though his 
intention was a secret until after his death. Under this view it was thought 
best to make the Smedley a companion-work to the Sharpless Genealogy. 
Though somewhat smaller, it is otherwise almost identical in make-up with 
the larger book. 

Future generations and the average reader of the present will have but a 
vague idea of the difficulties encountered in the prosecution of such a work, 
and, without going into details, it may be remarked that only in a cornr>aiv. • 
lively intelligent and moral state of society are large genealogies possible

iv INTRODUCTION. 

The printing of this work was commenced before the collection of the in- 
formation was completed, and has proceeded slowly since the beginning of 
the year 1900. Consequendy many changes have taken place, of which no 
mention will be found in these pages.

GENEALOGY 



OF THE 



SMEDLEY FAMILY 



\ STUDY of the migrations of the human race is worthy of our attention, 
r\ even when we are not directly concerned, and when the movements 
of our progenitors are under consideration we should take a lively interest 
m all the details. The repeopling of the New by colonists from the Old 
W orld has been of the most momentous importance to us, and. whether in 
Its mimediate or remote results, deserves more than a passing thoucdu 
Perhaps, m the ordering of creation, the world is destined to witness succes- 
sive waves oi civilization and race migration, following the course of the sun 
and crowding out the older, more stagnant and less energetic forms. It 
might be supposed that those individuals who invade new fields possessed 
more than the average of energy, yet, on the other hand, the struggle for 
existence in the older centres might be expected to tlevelop those quiilities 
es.sential to the perpetuation of the race. 

In these days of rapid strides it seems almost strange that for more than 
a hundred years after the discovery of America there were no successful 
attempts at colonization, except in the tropical or sub-tropical regions. 
The first English colony was established at Jamestown, Virginia, in "^ 607 
and the second at Plymouth, Massachusetts, 1620. The Dutch setded at 
New Amsterdam, now New York, in 1626, and the Swedes on the Dela- 
ware in 1638; but the latter colony did not flourish and their occupation 
extended litde beyond tide-water. They had for rivals the Dutch, who 
claimed the territory on the South River, as they styled the Delaware, and 



2 THE SMEDLEY FAMILY. 

finally in 1655, overthrew the Swedish rule here. Little attempt was made 
at colonization, however, and New Amsterdam having been captured by 
the Encrlish, in 1664, its dependency on the South River naturally fell to 
the victors. A temporary possession was again obtained by the Dutch, in 
1673-4, but this had little influence on the colonial life in what is now 

Pennsylvania. , 

Up to this period but few Englishmen had sought permanent nomes on 
the Delaware, and these had doubdess been connected with the mil.tary 
occupation of the country and found wives among the Swedes or Dutch. 
Such was the case with James Sandilands, of Upland, now Chester, who 
married the daughter of jurian Keen, a Swede. The commerce ot the 
river was insignificant and vessels seldom arrived, so that a highway of im- 
mio-ration could scarcely be said to exist. r ■ - 1 

king Charles II. had granted to his brother James, Duke of vork, the 
territory now embraced in the states of New Jersey and Delaware, even 
before it had been wrested from the Dutch, and the Duke had conveyed 
what is now New Jersey to Lord Berkeley and Sir George Carteret. The 
Society of Friends, or Quakers, founded in England by the teachings of 
Georcre Fox, about 1654, had suffered much persecution, and were looking 
toward the New World as an asylum. In 1673 John Fenwick, one of then- 
number, as trustee of Edward Byllinge, purchased the interest of Lord 
Berkeley, which, by a division agreed upcn with Sir George Carteret, 
formed the province of West New Jersey. There was an understanding 
by which Fenwick was to have one-tenth of the province, and in 1675 he 
led a colony of Friends who formed a setdement at Salem. Disputes arose 
between Fenwick and Byllinge, which by the kind intervention of William 
Penn were at length adjusted, and Byllinge conveyed his nine-tenths ot the 
province to Wilfiam Penn, Gawen Lawrie and Nicholas Lucas, tor the 
benefit of his creditors. These divided the ownership into one hundred 
shares or " proprieties," for which they found purchasers among Friends in 
Yorkshire and others in London. Certain " Conditions and Concessions ' 
were agreed upon between the trustees and purchasers for the gOA rnment 
of the colony, and in 1677 the ship Kent arrived with 230 passengers, who 
formed a setdement at Burlington. Other ships arrived in 1678 and 1679, 
and the success of the colony was assured. Some who thus i.me as 
setders in New Jersey crossed over to the western shore of the Delaware, 
where courts had been established among the Swedes and Dutch at New 
Casde and Upland, and prominent among these was Robert Wade, at the 
latter place.

attending it, if sucli can be found ; and in case any one or more p'jrchasers plant not accord- 
ing to agreement in this concession, to the prejudice of others of the same township, upon 
complaint thereof made to the governor or his deputy, with assistance, they may award (if they 
see cav.se) that the complaining purchaser may, paying the survey-money, and the purchase- 
money, and interest thereof, be entitled, enrolled, and lawfully invested in the lands so not 

seated. 

V. That the proportion of lands that shall be laid out in the first great town or city, fur 
every purchaser, shall be after the proportion of ten acres for every five hundred acres pur- 
chase i, if the place will allow it. 

VI. That notwithstanding there be no mention made in the several deeds made to the pur- 
chaser, yet the said William Penn does accord and declare, that all rivers, rivulets, woods and 
undeiwoods, waters, water-courses, quarries, mines and minerals (except mines-royal), shall be 
freely and fully enjoyed, and wholly by the purchasers into whose lot they fall. 

VII. That for every fifty acres that shall be allotted to a servant at the end of his service his 
quit-rent shall be two shillings per annum, and the master or owner of the servant, when he 
shall take up the other fifty acres, his quit rent shall be four shillings by the year, or if the 
master of the servant (by reason in the indentures he is so obliged to do) allot out to the ser- 
vant fifty acres in his own division, the said master shall have, on demand, allotted him from 
the governor the one hundred acres at the chief rent of six shillings per annum. 

The incidental manner in which alkision is made to the granting of fifty 
acres to servants and the hke quantity to their masters, at a small rent, 
indicates that it was a colonial custom not peculiar to Pennsylvania. 

Finding that by a strict construction of his charter the southern boundary 
of his province would strike the Delaware river above the mouth of the 
Schuylkill, Penn purchased, August 20, 1682, from the Duke of York, a 
circle of twelve miles around New Casde, and the remainder of the territory 
now forming the State of Delaware, by deed of August 24, 1682. On the 
30th of the same month he sailed for Pennsylvania, in the ship Welcome, 
with about one hundred passengers, and arrived at New Casde, m the 
Delaware, on the 27th of October following. Prior to leaving England, on 
the 22d of 3d mo. (May), 1682, he forwarded a list of persons to whom he 
had sold unlocated lands in Pennsylvania to the amount of more than 
500,000 acres, in order that the same might be surveyed. The Swedes and 
other setders in possession at the date of William Penn's charter were, of 
course, undisturbed. 

The method of conveyance in use at that day, and for many years after- 
ward, was by lease and release ; the lease placing the purchaser in posses- 
sion, and the release, dated the day following, divested the former owner 
of all right and tide to the property. After the survey of the land it was 
expected that each owner would obtain a patent, giving a description 
thereof by metes and bounds ; but there was considerable neglect in this 
respect, or if obtained they failed to be placed upon record. Whether 



EAKLY FRIENDS' MF. /■ T/XCiS. - 

William Penn actually signed many of the deeds of lease and release is 
uncertain, but an examination of some of them shows that his name was 
placed thereon by his secretary by the use oi a stamp. In the list above 
mentioned the names were grouped together in purchases to the amount 
of 10,000 acres, which seems to indicate an intention of placing each group 
in a separate township. This was found to be impracticable, however, and 
there was great irregularity in the shapes of surveys and townships. 

Prior to the arrival of William Penn the settled part of the province was 
known as Upland County, with the seat of justice at Upland, now Chester, 
where courts had been held at least from 1676. "A letter addressed to 
Ephraim Herman, in respect to summoning a Court to be held at New 
Castle on the 2d of November, and dated at Upland on the 29th of Octo- 
ber, shows that William Penn had then arrived at his seat of government. 
He may have arrived the day before. The fancy of the artist has portrayed 
the landing of Penn at I'pland; but neither the hour, the day, nor the 
manner of his landing, is certainly known." r3r. (leorge Smith, in the His- 
tory of Delaware County, continuing and quoting from Clarkson, says: 

" He landed at Upland, but the place was to bear that familiar name no 
more forever. Without reflection Penn determined that the name of the 
place should be changed. Turning round to his friend Pearson, one of his 
own .Society, who had accompanied him in the ship Welcome, he said, 
'Providence has brought us here safe. Thou hast been the companion of 
my [jerils. What wilt thou that I should call this place?' Pearson said 
'Chester,' in remembrance of the city from whence he came. William 
Penn replied that it should be called Chester, and that when he divided the 
land into counties one of them should be called by the same name. Thus, 
from a mere whim the name of the oldest town, the name of the whole 
setded part of the province, the name that would naturally have a place in 
the affections of a large majority of the inhabitants of the new province, was 
effaced to gratify the caprice or vanity of a friend." 

The division of the province into the three counties of Chester, Phila- 
delphia and Bucks probably occurred within a month of this time, but the 
boundaries were not very definite at first. 

friends' meetings. 

Many of those who had purchased land in Pennsylvania while still in 
England, as well as others, now began to arrive in considerable numbers. 
As they were mostly Friends or Quakers, a number of meetings were 
established by them in 1683 ^n<J 1684. William Edmundson, a minister 



g THE SMEDLEY FAMILY. 

from Ireland, visited America in 1675, and in that year held a meeting at 
the house of Robert Wade, at Upland. A meeting was probably held here 
regularly after 1677, by which time some other Friends had arrived in the 

neighborhood. , -r 1 

It mav be explained that the meetings of Friends are classified as for 
worship and for discipline. The latter are again divided into preparative, 
monthly, quarterly and yearly meetings. One or more meetmgs for wor- 
ship may form a preparative meeting. One or more preparative meetings 
may form a monthly meeting. Two or more monthly meetings may form a 
quarterly meeting, and several quarterly meetings may iorm a yearly meet- 
ing. In the early days these regulations were not so closely adhered to as 
later, and we find that some monthly meetings called every third meeting a 
quarterly meeting. The monthly meetings are the principal executive 
branch of the Society and keep the most voluminous records. New meet- 
ings are established by these, with the approval of the quarterly meetings. 
The Friends at Upland were for a time members of Burlington Monthly 
Meeting, of which a session was "held at Upland, in the house of Robert 
Wade, the 15th of the 9th month, 1681," but the first meeting of the kind, 
held by Friends of the Western Shore alone, is set forth in the following 

minutes: 

"the 10 day of y* 11 month, 1681. 

"A monthly meeting of frends belonging to marcus hooke & vpland held 
then at Robert Wad's house." 

"the 14 day of y" 12 month, 1681. 

"A monthly meeting heeld by frends at marcus hooke." 

No other meeting is mentioned until 

"the 9th day of y'' 3d mo. 1682. 

"A monthly meeting held then by freends belonging to marcus hooke & 
vpland at Robert Wad's house." 

Up to this time no business appears to have been transacted by the 
meeting. The next date is 

"the 3 day of y'^ 6th month 1682. 

"A monthly meeting held then by frends belonging to marcus hooke alis 
Chechester & vpland and y*^ adioyning Inhabetants, at Robert Wad's house. 

"At this meeting William Clayton juner and elezebeth bezor, both living 
at Chichester, have declared their Intentions of marriage: & its ordered by 
the meeting that morgan druet & Robert Wade doe make enquirey con- 
serning them & give it in to y'= next monthly meeting." 
"At the monthly meeting at vpland the nth 7 mo. 1682. 



CHESTER MONTHLY MEETING. j 

"Large paper booke, unruled, being fitt for tlie servise ot monthly and 
quarterly meetings is to be procured against the next monthly meeting, & 
Rob' Wade is desired to get the said booke. 

"It was then agreed y' a meeting shall be held for y" service & worship 
of god ever)' first day at y" court house at Vpland. 

"And also agreed that there be three meetings in the week time th^ 
westerne part to meet at Chichester the 5"' day of the week and the midle 
meeting at Harold at Wm. Woodmansons the 4"' day of the week and the 
Eastern meeting at Ridley at John Simcocks the 5"' day of the week until! 
otherwise ordered. 

"The monethly meetings for men & women to be the first second day of 
the week in every month at Robert Wades house. 

"W™ Clayton & Elizabeth Bezor did again present their former inten- 
tions of marriage but friends findeing that her parents were absent and haa 
not their consent for such proceedings, nor certificate of her clearness from 
other men, did advise these parties to waite further untill all things be 
cleared according to the practise of friends and good order of truth." 

The following are the headings of the monthly minutes succeeding the 
above: 

"At the men's meeting at Upland the: 2: day of the 8: month: 82." "At 
the men's meeting at Vpland the 6"' of 9 mo. 82." "At our men and 
women's meeting at Chester the: i : of : 11 month: 82." 

The old book from which the foregoing entries are taken appears to bear 
this inscription, though very dim with age: "The Register Booke belonging 
to Marcus hook and Upland Meeting, y*^^ 3'' of y'' 6 mon"' 1681." About 
I 7 1 I the minutes were transcribed by Thomas Chalkley, who changed the 
word Upland to Chester, beside making other variations from the original. 

On the 1st of iith month, 1682, "it was condescended to that frinds at 
chichester may hold a meeting there on the first day of the weik for die 
servis of god untill the next monthly meeting, then to have further aprob.i- 
tion conserning it." At the next meeting, 5th of 12th mo., 1682-3, ^^'^

y'Tho: Brassie & James Kennerly speake to John Blunston or some of 
Derby meeting to joine w"' us in our months meeting to considder of ol: 
order y*' necessary affaires belonging to y^' same." This is the first allusion 
to Darby Meeting, which had probably been recently established independ- 
ently of any other. They may have joined with Chester Friends in a 
monthly meeting capacity for a time, but on the 2d of 5th month, 1684, 
Darby Monthly Meeting held its first session. Haverford Monthly Meet-

ing, composed of the meetin,<:^r,s in Maverford, Radnor and Merion was 
established the same )ear. the record beginnin,!,- with the loth of 2d month 
(April, O. S.), while the monthly meeting of Chichester and Concord (later 
known as Concord Monthly Meeting) was first held on the 17th of ist mo 
(March). 1684. As the settlements progressed other meetings were set up 
of which further mention will be made hereafter. The connection of the' 
Smedley family with the Society for more than 200 years, as well as of those 
with whom the Smedleys have intermarried, justifies a detailed history 
of these meetings. 

The Darby Meeting has occupied a somewhat unique position in the his- 
tory of the Society. Unlike Chester Monthly Meeting, which at one time 
had seven branches, Darby Monthly Meeting was composed of the one 
congregation, which never establisned any offshoots. This was owin^r to 
the fact that they uere hedged about with the monthlv meetings of Chester 
Philadelphia and Havcrford, and there was no unoccupied territoiT to 
colonize 



SE'ITLE.MKNT r)F DAkliV TOWNSIIII'. 

The settlers in this township were mostly from the English counties 
of Derby and Leicester, with a few from Nottingham, and appear to have 
been of a high order of respectabilitv and intelligence. They kept the best 
township record known to the writer, and the following extracts copied 
from notes collected by the late Dr. George Smith, of Upper Darby, author 
of the History of Delaware County. ,862, are of much interest to o-eneal-

ARRIVAL OF GEORGE SMEDLEY. 
As will be shown later, George Smedley probably came from Derbyshire 
about the year 1682. and found a temporary home in Upper Providence 
ownsh.p. Wh.le here he purchased from William Penn 250 acres of un- 
located land, the deed for which seems not to have been preserved, nor w..

JOHN GOODWIN AND SARAH KITCHIN. \\ 

We will now turn to Lower Dublin township, Philadelphia county, now 
the northeastern part of the city of Philadelphia, where several Friends had 
setded, who were members of a meeting established in Oxford township, 
now Frankford Meeting. They also belonged to Abington Monthly Meet- 
ing, from the records of which the following entries are taken : 

"At a Mo. Meedng y^^ 5"' of 3 mo. 16S4, at y" New Meeting house at 

Oxford. 

"Whereas John Goodin and Sarah Kitchen, booth belongmg to this 
Meeting, having declared their Intentions of Marriage with each Other, 
and Eiiquiry being made by persons Appointed, and found Clear from all 
others on y' account Were permitted, and accomplished their Marriage 
accordingly." 

By a false construction of the minutes when they were transcribed some 
years later, it would appear that the parties had accomplished their mar- 
riage prior to the above date, but this is doubdess the meeting at which 
they were given permission to accomplish their marriage, and the ceremony 
probably took place about a week later. 

Sarah Kitchin is supposed to have been the daughter of Thomas Kitchin, 
senior. The following items respecting the Kitchins contain all that is 
known of them: 

"At a Mo. Meedng y 29"' 7"^ mo. 1685. Whereas Thomas Kitchen ot 
Oxford Township and Mar)' Mace of Philadelphia, widdow, having declared 
their Intentions of Marriage with each other before two Mo. Meetings, 
Enquiry being made by persons appointed and found Clear from all others 
on y« account of Marriage; Did accomplish their Marriage in y-^ Unity ot 
ffriends, as is Signified by their Marriage Certificate." 

"Thomas Kitchen senior, in Oxford Township, in y" County of Phila- 
delphia, & Mary Mace, widdow. Living near SkoolkiU," were married 8th 
of loth Mo. 1685. No witness of either name recorded. 

"Tho: Kitchin and Jo: Goodin were witnesses to the marriage of Richard 
Worrell and Rachel May, 6 mo. 11, 1685. Tho: Kitchon was a witness to 
marriage of Thomas Kimber and Elizabeth Chalkley, 26th of 8 mo. 1686, 
at Oxford Meeting: Also to the marriage of Edward Eaton and Ann 
Kirby, i8th of 3d mo. 1686, at the same meeting. 

"Thomas Kitchin Sen^ Deceased y-^ i 5"' of y'" 10 mo. 1694," but no will 
or administration on his estate has been found. 

John Saltar, son of Henry and Anna Saltar, died 9 mo. 7, 1688. He 
made a nuncupadve will, of which Mary Kitchin and Ann Kitchin were 
witnesses, making their marks. 



12 THE SMEDLF.Y FAMILY. 

Thomas Kitchen was baptized 3d of 12th month, 1696, according- to 
records of the Pennypack Baptist Church. An examination of these 
records shows that several of the early members were those who had been 
identified with Friends, but who were doubtless led off by the schism 
of George Keith. 

The will of Thomas Kitching, of Dublin township, Philadelphia county, 
yeoman, is dated July 16, 1706, and was probated Aug. 24, 1706, in which 
he appointed his wife, Ann, .sole heir and executrix. The witnesses were 
Thomas Kimber, Joseph Barton and Henry Stirke. 

Hannah Lambert, of Philadelphia, spinster, in will, Dec. 7, 1719, mentions 
her kinswoman, Hannah, daughter of Thomas Kitchin. 

No will or administration on the estate ol John Goodwin has been dis- 
covered. The late Samuel L. Smedley made the following memorandum: 

"My uncle George Smedley told me, about 1850, that during his great 
uncle Ambrose Smedley's last sickness he sat up with him at night, and 
uncle Ambrose said that George Smedley, his grandfather, and John Good- 
win, were intimate friends (and worked together in Philadelphia?); and 
when George was urged by John to marry, as he was getting to be on the 
bachelor order, George replied that he would it he could get as good a wife 
as he, John Goodwin, had." 

At a Monthly Meeting held at the meeting honse upon the front of Delaware [Philadelphia 
Monthly Meeting], the twenty-seventh of the third month 1687 : 

Melissant Hodgkins and Elisabeth Frampton presents George Smedley and Sarah Gooden, 
who published their intentions of marriage, it being the first time, friends appoint William 
Southerby and VVilHani Boulding to Enquire into the mans clearness, and also to assist them 
in securing something for the womans Child, and make report thereof to the next monthly 
meeting. 

The fact that inquirers were appointed by Philadelphia Monthly Meeting 
indicates that George Smedley was residing within the limits of that meet- 
ing, as well as his intended wife. No evidence has been discovered to 
show that he had fully identified himself with the Society of Friends before 
coming to this country, otherwise he should have brought a certificate from 
a meeting in England. However, the following recommendation was pre- 
sented to Philadelphia Meeting: 

"This may Certifie all whom it may Concerne y' whereas Georg Smedley 
the bearer herof who Came ouer A Single man w"' many of vs he was 
alsoe A neare neighbor to Seuerall of vs And soe farr as wee ever knew or 
heard he Came Cleare from Any Engagment Concerning women A Likwis

John ball 

This document, of which the original is in the handwriting of Thomas 
Worth, appears to have been signed at Darby Meeting a week later than 
the regular monthly meeting, and no mention thereof is made on the 
records of this meeting. 

At our Monthly Meeting held at the meeting house upon the front of Delaware this Twenty 
fourth of the fourth month 16S7. 

George Snjcdley & Sarah Gooden presented themselves the second time, and published 
their intentions of marriage, Friends that were appointed to Enquire into their clearness from 
this meeting ami also from the womens meeting, Report that they know of nothing to obstruct 
their proceedings. But that before the Consummation thereof friends desire the said CJeorge to 
give a Bond unto Thomas Kitchen for what is due unto Sarah Gooden's Child by a former 
husband. 

It is to be regretted that the certificate of the marriage was not recorded, 
but it probably occurred within a week or ten days of the last date above. 
The child of John Goodwin must have died soon after, as a deed executed 
in 1700 represents that the father died without issue or heir. 

The Darby certificate gives us a ver)- important clue to the place of 
nativity of George Smedley, as well as to the date of his arrival. It says 
that he "came over a sino-Ie man with many of us: he was also a near 
neighbor to several of us." Of the eleven signers six or eight appear to 
have come over in 1682, and not more than two or three of the others in 
any subsequent year; while nine of the number came from Derbyshire, 
including all but one of those who came in 1682. The following analysis 
will make the matter clearer: 

SIGNERS TO GEORGE SMEDLEV's CERTIFICATE, I 687. 

George Wood, with his wife and children, brought a certificate from the 
Monthly Meeting of Friends belonging to Matlock, Monyash and Ashford, 
Derbyshire, dated 5 mo. 27, 1682. 

Richard Bonsall "now removes with his whole family to America: he is 



,4 THE SMEDLEY FAMILY. 

and hath been since he came amongst friends of honest hfe and conversa- 
tion." From our meeting at Ashford, 22d of 12 mo. 1682. 

John Wood, son of the above George Wood, doubtless came with his 
father. 

Thomas Worth and Samuel Bradshaw brought a joint certificate from 
Farnfield, in the county of Nottingham, dated 20th of ist mo. 1682. An 
entry in Thomas Worth's Bible says: "Left England y^ 21"' day of y^ 2^ 
mon: 1682. Landed In I'ennsilvania In y" begininge of y'' sixt month In 
y" same yeare." 

John Marshall came from Elton, in Derbyshire, 1682 or 1683, ^"<^ settled 
in Darby in 1687. 

John Ball came from Derby, in the county of Derby, 1682 or '3, and 
settled in Darby township, 1689. 

John Blunston, of Little Hallam, in the county of Derby, brought a 
certificate from the monthly meeting at Breach House, dated 13th of 5th 
mo. 1682. 

Joshua Fearne came with his mother, Elizabeth Fearne, bringing a 
>:erdficate from the monthly meeting of Matlock, Monyash and Ashford, 
dated 5th mo. 27, 1682. 

John Bartram came from Ashburn, in the county of Derby, 1683. He 
was the grandfather of John Bartram, the botanist. 

John Smith came from Harby, in the county of Leicester, 1684. 

Thomas Hood, of Breson, in the county of Derby, brought a certificate 
from Friends at Breach House, dated 12 mo. 8, 1682. 

Whether George and Sarah Smedley settled at once upon the land in 
Middletown is matter for conjecture. He signed the Yearly Meeting's 
testi:-nony against selling rum to the Indians, which was entered on the 
minutes of Chester Monthly Meeting in 1687, but there is evidence that 
this was signed by different persons at different times subsequent to this 
date. In the assessment of Middletown township, made in 1693, the fol- 
lowinof taxes were levied:

FURTHER PURCHASE OF LANDS. ,5 

We now come to the most unsatisfactory record connected with the 
family of George Smedley, to wit, the births of his children, as recorded by 
Chester Monthly Meeting. It may be explained that prior to 1752 the 
oivil year began on March 25th, which was called the First month, yet the 
historical year began on Jan. 1st, and between these points it was custom- 
nry to give the number of both the old and the new year, but in this 
instance the recorder has used the double form improperly and also made 
,in error of a decade in some of the dates. The original record was copied 
into a new book several years later, but with the same errors. 

"Thomas Sone of Geoarg Smedly & Serah his wife was born one y'' 15 
uay of y"* Second month 1697. [1688?] 

" Marey daughter of Geoarg Smedly & Serah his wif was born on y 3d 
day of y"" Second Month 169J. [1690?] 

"Geoarg y" son of Geoarg Smedly & Serah his wif was born on the 
Second of y" first Month 1 69I. 

"Serah daughter of Geoarg Smedly & Serah his was born on y"' Second 
day of y^ Eight mon 1695. 

Alee y daughter of Geoarg Smedly and Serah his w'if was born on 
y'' Second day of y third mon 1696." 

Having a growing family on his hands George Smedley thought proper 
to add to his landed possessions, and thereupon purchased from his 
brother-in-law (?), Thomas Kitchin, a tract in Dublin township, by the 
f ■)l!owing very brief conveyance: 

"This 24"* day of September 1699. 

'Received by me Thomas Kitchin of George Smedley ^6, 14' for 100 
acres of Land situate lying & being in the County of Philadelphia. I say 
received by me Thomas Kitchin this being the full discharge for the same. 

"Witness Richard Wansell, Mary Wansell."

This land had been surveyed to Thomas Kitchin but he had not received 
any good title thereto. George Smedley next proceeded to obtain a satis- 
factory tide by having the land resurveyed in Oi der /br coniirmation by 
patent. 

RETURN OF RESURVEY. 

Pursuant to a warrant under the hands and seal of the Proprietary and Governor to me 
directed, bearing date the 16'" day of the loth Mo: 1700, I do hereby certify that I have

The quaint methods of two hundred years ago, the primitive state 
of society, and the condition of the country — all of which can never be 
duplicated or reproduced — j'ustify the presentation of details which would 
be inadmissible if relating to recent occurrences. They enable us to 
picture in our minds the situation of our ancestors in their struggles for the 
comforts and necessities of their families, while laying the foundations 
of our present civilization. Though vehicles were few, yet roads were 
needed to pass from neighborhood to neighborhood; and here is the story 
of one which touched the Smedley homestead about the time the owner 
brought his bride to be a helpmeet in the wilds of Middletown.

This is what is known as the Edomont and Chester Road, and is said to 
have been laid out on the Hne of an old Indian trail. It was subsequendy 
extended to the Brandywine, at Downingtown. John Bowater owned two 
tracts of land in Middletown, through both of which the road passed. 
Middletown Meeting was first held at his house, on the first of these above 
mentioned, and was known as Bowater's Meeting till about i 702. Perhaps 
this was about the time that John Bowater removed northward to a tract 
of land in what is now Willistown, although it was then said to be in West- 
town township. Here he made his will on the 20th of 5th month, 1705, 
which was probated Sept. 17, 1705. He devised to each of his daughters, 
Mary, Elizabeth, Anne, Alice and Phebe, ^40 at 21 or marriage, and the 
residue of his estate to his wife, Frances, whom he appointed executrix.

PURCHASE OF LAND IN WILLISTOWN. 

George Smedley appears to have removed from Middletown to the 
above land of John Bowater, in Westtown, prior to the close of the year 
1706, having purchased it from the widow by the following deed:

Acknowledged 26th May 1706, before Caleb Pusey, Esq., and Peter Evans, Deputy of the 
office of Inrollment. 

The foregoing deed intimates that George Smedley was still of Middle- 
town, which was possibly the case, but another deed refers to him as of 
Westtown in the nth month, 1705. It must be remembered that March 
25th was New Year's day and that it was 1705 until that day, after which it 
was 1706. By a deed dated the 1 ith of ist month (March), 1705, George 
Smedley, of Middletown, in the County of Chester, Husbandman, conveyed 
to Alitie Lucken, of Bristol township in the County of Philadelphia, Spinster, 
for ;^I20, the 213 acres of land in Dublin township, patented to George 
Smedley Mar. 22, 1700. See Exemplification Record, No. 7, p. 644, Phila. 
The receipt for the consideration money, on the same date, was witnessed 
at Germantown by Cornelius Severts and Francis Daniel Pastorius. 

An unrecorded deed was shown to Samuel L. .Smedley by Charles K.

They were Attested. 

George Smedley was one of a sheriff's jury, i mo. 6, 1698-9, to appraise 
the estate of John Calvert, which was taken in execution. He, with others, 
was appointed 7 mo. 10, 1700, to lay out a private road from Abraham 
Beaks' house to Edgmont Road, of which they made return 8 mo. 14, 1700. 
He was one of a jury, S mo. 28, 1702, which laid out a road from John 
Goukling's corner to Edgmont Road, by the land of Abraham Beaks and 
others; was a petit juror, 3 mo. 25, 1703, in a case of Butterfield vs. 
Worrall; and in August, 1706, was again a grand juror. Feb. 24, 1707-8, 
he was appointed constable for Willistown, to which township the Bowater 
tract purchased by him had been transferred from Westtown. On the 29th 
of August, 1710, — 

Daniel Hoopes, Aaron James, Joseph Phips, Evan Lewis, Randal Malin and George Smedley 
made Return of a Road which by vertue of an Ord' of y' Last Court they Layed out for ffrancis 
Yarnall and a Township of Indians, And the Court Orders that the s'' Road be not Confirmed 
untill they have farther Considered of it, which is to be Done y' next Court, and If [no] Just 
objections be made against it then the same to be Confirmed and Entred on Record. 

There is no further reference to this road on the record, but by an order 
of court, dated 28 Nov., 1710, there was laid out a road across the Indians' 
land from the central part of Willistown township to the Edgmont Road, 
and this may have been in lieu of the former. About 1701, some Indians 
of the Okehockinor or Okanickon tribe, who had been living on Crum 
Creek, were removed by William Penn's orders and settled on a tract 
of land in Willistown, formerly granted to Griffith Jones, but not held by 
him. A warrant was granted, 15th of 10 mo., 1702, by which a tract of 500 
acres was surveyed for their use so long as they or their descendants 
should continue to occupy it. This lay on the east side of Ridley Creek, 
less than a mile to the eastward of George Smedley's land and adjoining 
Francis Yarnall's land. After the Indians had abandoned it Amos and 
Mordecai Yarnall, sons of Francis, obtained patents for it, in 1738.

There being vacant land to the eastward of the Bowater purchase, 
George Smedley obtained a warrant to take up a part of it, as follows:

This was signed by Richard Hill, Isaac Norris and James Logan, i8

After George Smedley's removal to Willistown he still continued to 
attend Middletown Meeting, and frequently represented that meeting at the 
monthly gatherings for business. He was also frequently appointed on 
committees, but does not appear to have held any official position of longer 
duration. 

On 2 mo. 2, 1694, Frances Bovvater and Sarah Smedley were appointed 
to inquire concerninof Elizabeth Woodear's clearness of marriaee eneaee- 
ments ; and on 9 mo. 30, \ 696, Sara Smedly and Martha Ogden were 
appointed to make a similar inquiry respecting Susanna Tuniclifif. 

Tenth mo. 29, 1701, ".Sarah Smedely and Marthew Ogden are chosen 
overseers for John Bowater's Meeting;" and on 9 mo. 30, 1702, Frances 
Worrall and Sarah Smedley are chosen overseers for Middletown Meeting. 
Sarah Smedley was appointed 8 mo. 30, 1704, to make inquiry respecting 
Rachel Woodward, who desired a certificate to another meeting. Sarah 
Smedley and Mary Ashbridge were chosen overseers for Middletown 
Meeting, i mo. 26, 1705. Frances Bovvater and Sarah Smedley were 
appointed, 4 mo. 30, i 707, to inquire concerning Rachel Taylor's clearness 
in order for marriage. In the accounts of the treasurer of the women's 
meeting we find that on "y"' 26^'' of y*^^ i i"' mo., 1704, Disburst for widdow 
Readman twenty shillings; part of which was paid to feby peckovv for a 
shift & the Remainder was put into the hands of Frances bowater, Sarah 
Smedle & Mary Ashbridge to Lay out for her as they se occation." 

By deed of April 7, 171 7, George Smedley, Sr., convej'ed to his son, 
George Smedley, of Middletown, the tract of 295 acres, 136 perches of land 
in the latter township, "lately purchased by the s"^ George Smedley Sr. 
from William Penn," excepting 30 acres formerly sold to Thomas Barnsley. 

For a few of the last years of his life, after all of his children were 
married, George Smedley possibly made his home with his son Thomas. 

GOSHEN MONTHLY MEETING EST.\BLISHED. 

In 1722 Chester Monthly Meeting was divided and Goshen Monthly 
Meeting established, as set forth in the opening minute thereof: 

Whereas the Monthly Meeting of Chester, Consisting of the particular Meetings of Chester, 
Providence, Springfield, Middletown, Newtown, Goshen and Uwchlan, taking into Considera- 
tion the Large Extent thereof and the numerous appearance of friends belonging thereunto, 
with the Inconveniency that Several underwent in attending the same, It was thought suitable 
in the Wisdom of Truth (the prosperity of which being the principal motive,) to have the said

From the dates of will and probate we may suppose that the testator's

fil'' y' 15"' Aug' 1724. 

A part of the estate of George Smedley which does not appear in the 
foregoing account, and was probably not thought of when his will was 
made, was a lot in the city of Philadelphia to which he was entitled on 
account of his first purchase of 250 acres of land in 1684. There is no 
evidence to show that any attention had been paid to the matter, owing no 
doubt to the fact that in that day it was worth little, though now in the 
heart of the city. The following proceedings relate to this subject: 

THIS INDENTURE made the fourth Day of May in the Year of our Lord one Thousand 
Seven hundred and Sixty four. Between George Smedley of the Township of Middletown in 
the County of Chester of the first Part, And John Varnall of the Township of Willistown in the 
County of Chester and Mary his wife, Sarah Williamson of the Township of Newtown, widow, 
Sarah Smedley of the Township of Willistown, widow, Francis Smedley, Thomas Smedley, 
John Smedley, George Smedley junior, John Minshall and Sarah his wife, Thomas Downing 
and Jane his wife, Richard Downing and Mary his wife, Robert Valentine and Rachel his wife, 
David Reese and Sarah his wife and Jacob Edge and Nathaniel Newland & Jane his wife, of 
the Second Part : Whereas the said parties of the Second part by their Indenture bearing date 
the Day before the Date of these Presents, for the Consideration Money therein mentioned 
did grant and Confirm unto the said George Smedley of the first Part, All their Right Title

OPINION ON TITLE TO LOT IN PHILADELPHIA. 

Wm. Penn Esq' Propr' by his warrant directed to his Surv' Gen. he Will'd & required him 
to Survey unto Geo: Smedley 250" of Land in Chester County; also a Lott on Schuylkill in 
any of the Streets set out for Purchasers. It appears that such Lott was laid out by the 
S' Surveyor in the Surv. Gen" office. The s' Geo : Smedley for divers good causes made & 



THE PHILADELrniA CITY LOT. 29 

Executed an Indenture wherein & whereby he conveyed the 250 acres af' to his son Geo: 
together w"' the advantages, Hereditam" & appurt' w'soever to the s'' Lands belonged, or 
therewithal comonly used, occupied or known or conceived so to be. 

Quere, whether by the words & operation of the said Indenture the Lott on Schuylkill af 
will pa-s by the Deed & vest in Geo : the son : such Lott not being expressly mentioned in the 
Indenture af'. 

I am of opinion that as it was the Intention of the father to convey the Lands af'' & all 
things thereunto belonging, to his son : Lotts w' '' were given to Purchas'" of Particular Portions 
of Land in the original settlement of this Province will pass as an Hereditam' & Appurtenance 
to such Land so purchased (if not specially excepted), especially in this Case wherein the 
original Purchaser seems to have the Preferm' of his son in view & by his will has given 
Legacies to each of his other Children, never taking any notice of such Lott. The Indenture 
aforesaid being made in so short a space of time after the survey, together w"' many words 
of great Latitude therein, make the Conveyance of such Lott very evident, & must appear to 
be the Intention of the father to convey the Land af w"' the advantages attend" the Purchase 
thereof, as he particularly mentions those Lands &c. as laid down & as he held them by the 
Proprie" Pattent. Sh' a difif' Construction be made, words very full & comprehensive in the 
Inden"" must be rejected, & the Rule of Law that Inden" shall be expounded ag' the Grant', 
must be reversed & rather than such inconveniences sh' jjrevail the Lott must pass with the 
Lands. Wm. Whitehead Jun". 

Philada. 19"" June 1764. 



A CONTRARY Ol'INION. 

I am of Opinion George Smedley must procure Deeds from the Children of John Edge, and 
from his own Rro" and sisters if alive, if not from their Children or representatives, before he 
can be Legally vested with a right to the Lot appurtenant to his father's purchase of two hun- 
dred & fifty acres — as it appears he dyed Intestate as to the Lot, save one fourth juirt thereof, 
which he devised to the Children of John Edge. Jiis. Galloway.

THE SMEDLEY FAM/f.V. 



QUIT-RENTS. 

As quit-rents have become obsolete, and many persons are ignorant 
of their nature, a short explanation may not be out of place here. They 
appear to have originated under the feudal system in England, when all the 
lands were supposed to belong to the king^ and those who occupied them 
were allowed to do so in consideration of personal services of various 
kinds, but chiefly those of a military character. These were not always 
rendered immediately to the king, but often to an intermediate class, as the 
barons, who in turn were tenants of the kin<>-. From this arose the custom 
of paying a fee or fine in lieu of personal service, and by a quit-rent it is to 
be understood that the tenant goes quit or free of further service. In the 
course of time this institution, like many others, lost its original significance, 
and at the time William Penn sold lands in Pennsylvania quit-rents were 
probably regarded as the best means of securing a permanent income to 
himself and family. He says, in his proposals to the early purchasers: 

"The shares I sell be certain as to the number of acres; that is to say, 
every one shall contain five thousand acres; the price one hundred pounds; 
and for the quit-rent, one English shilling, or the value of it yearly, for a 
hundred acres; which such as will may now, or hereafter, buy oft to an 
inconsiderable matter; but as I hold by a small rent of the King, so all must 
hold of me by a small rent for their own security," etc. 

The charter for Pennsylvania prescribed the payment to the king, his 
heirs and successors, "two beaver skins to bee delivered att our said Castle 
of Windsor, on the first day of Januarie, in every yeare; and also the fifth 
parte of all Gold and Silver Oare, which shall from time to time happen to 
be found within the Limitts aforesaid, cleare of all Charges. " 

The privilege of buying oft" die quit-rent to a small amount was embraced 
by some ot the early purchasers of large amounts of land in Pennsylvania, 
but does not appear to have been continued by William Penn's successors. 
The "London Company" purchased 60,000 acres, on which the quit-rent 
was to be two beaver skins per annum, while the "Free Society of Traders" 
obtained 20,000 acres, and other purchasers 101,760 more, at a quit-rent of 
one shilling for each thousand acres. By the patent-books it appears that 
the land in Chester County was patented, under various quit-rents, in the 
following amounts: At one shilling per hundred acres, 262,031; at one 
shilling per thousand acres, 13,524; at one penny per acre, 3,933; at a half 
penny per acre, 86,612; at a bushel of wheat per hundred acres, 5,904; 
various tracts of 200. 93, "];}), 202, 201, 200, 400, 200 and 10 acres at one 
shilling each; 900 acres at a peppercorn; 124 acres at three bushels of 
wheat; 491 acres at 10 bushels per annum. 



THOMAS SMEDLEY-. ^,1 

A list was kept of all owners of lands, with situation, number ot acres, 
etc., and this was called the rent-roll. A special officer, styled the Receiver 
General, had charge of this branch of the Proprietary interests, and at 
stated times visited the different counties to receive the quit-rents. In the 
very early times, when money was scarce, the rents were often paid in 
wheat or other grain, and when colonial paper money came into use it was 
at a discount, so that a nominally greater sum was required to be equiva- 
lent to the sterling English money specified in the patent. 

The quit-rents were regarded as a grievance by the landholders, who 
avoided payment as much as possible, so that it was frequently necessary 
for the collectors to appeal to the law to gain what was due. After the 
Revolution the State of Pennsylvania paid a large sum of money to the 
heirs of William Penn to compensate them for the loss of the quit- rents, 
which were then abolished.

Owing to the great neglect to record deeds in former times the genealo- 
gist is deprived of what would be a fruitful source of information. Thomas 
Smedley was a patentee, with his father, of 200 acres in Willistown, and 
subsequendy appears to have been possessed of the 400 acres purchased 
by his father in 1705. 

By deeds of lease and release, 17th and i 8th Oct., 1 681, William Penn 
conveyed to Samuel Jobson, of the parish of St. Mary Magdalen Ber- 
mondsey, in Surrey, woolstapler, 1000 acres of land in Pennsylvania. This 
was surveyed 24 Feb., 1684, in Willistown, to Griffith Jones, as agent for 
Samuel Jobson, and patented to the latter 9 July, 1687, who by deed of 3 
Feb., 1699, conveyed the same to his son Michael Jobson. He in turn 
devised the -land by will, 3 Feb., 1709, to his sons Samuel and Michael

when 21 years of age. Samuel Jobson, of Philadelphia, merchant, grandson 
of the original purchaser, ior ^240, conveyed his undivided moiety thereof 
to Thomas Smedley, of Willistown, yeoman, 6 April, 1726. Division hav- 
ing been made, Michael Jobson, of Willistown, yeoman, confirms unto 
Thomas Smedley 503 acres by metes and bounds, 25 Oct., 1726. 

Thomas Smedley, of Willistown, and wife Sarah, for ^120, convey to his 
brother, George Smedley, of Middletown, yeoman, 250 acres in Willistown, 
being one-half of the Jobson purchase, 17 May, 1726. Thomas Smedley 
also purchased from Michael Jobson, 30 Dec, 1729, one-quarter of an acre 
— probably for the sake of getting water. John Taylor, the county sur- 
veyor, in his note-book, made a memorandum of a deed from Joseph 
Darlington and wile Mary, to Thomas Smedley for 200 acres of land, about 
I735(?). The location of this tract has not been discovered. Thomas also 
obtained a patent on a small tract of 22 acres in Willistown, in 1735. By 
deed of 3 Oct., 1750, he purchased 25 acres of William Kennison and wife 
Elizabeth, situated in Whiteland township. The remainder of Kennison's 
land, 175 acres, was seized by Isaac Pearson, sheriff, and conveyed to 
Thomas .Smedley, 20 Mar., 1754. Francis SmetUey and wife Anne, of 
Willistown, Thomas Smedley, of the same place, and wife Lydia, John 
Smedley, of the same place, and John Minshall and wife Sarah, of Middle- 
town, heirs of Thomas Smedley, deceased, conveyed the two tracts of 25 
acres and 175 acres, in Whiteland, to Thomas Harris, of Whiteland, Dec. 
30, 1770. 

Thomas and Sarah Smedley were active members of their meeting and 
often appointed on committees or represented their preparative meetings at 
the monthly sessions. They attended Middletown Meeting until 1722, 
when they changed their membership to Goshen, on account ot its being 
more convenient. So far as can be determined at this time the evidence 
points to the homestead now owned by Eli J. Lewis as the first Smedley 
home in Willistown, passing from George to Thomas and then to John 
Smedley, whose son John succeeded him in 1 793.

John Baker, Sr., of Edgmont, Shropshire, England, died 2 mo. 25, 1672, 
as recorded by the Friends' Meeting there. No information is given as to 
his wife or children, but it is suggested that he may have been the father of

some brothers and sisters who came to Pennsylvania in 1684. A member 
of the family from Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, who visited England 
and made some investigations there, came to the conclusion that the above 
John Baker was born in 159S, and was the son of Sir Richard Baker, born 
1568, died Feb. 18, 1645. Of this we have no satisfactory evidence and 
the stretch is too long from 1598 to 1684, when some of the supposed chil- 

i dren of John were young and unmarried women. These children were as 

' follows: 

John Baker, who married in England but lost his wife before or during the voyage, and was 
/ perhaps sick when he landed in Philadelphia, where he made his will. 

' Joseph Baker, who married Mary in England. They settled in Edgmont township, 

I Chester (now Delaware) county, where he became a large landholder and probably 

suggested the name for that township. 
,' Mary Bakek, married about 2 mo. (April), 16S6, William Cobourn, eldest son of Thomas 

; Cobourn, of Chester. He married a 2d wife, Sarah Flower, 12 mo., 1721-2. 

Hannah Baker, married 8 mo., 1686, Francis Yarnall. They settled in Willistown town- 
ship and had several children. 
Sarah Baker, married 3 mo., 16S7, to Charles VVhitaker, of Ridley township. He married, 
in 1698, a 2d wife, Hannah Hoskins. By his will, dated Feb. 12, 1707-8, he devised 
to his two daughters by his former wife, viz., Sarah and Mary Whitaker, various articles 
of household furniture, etc., "to be divided betwixt them by & with the advice of their 
uncle Joseph Baker & their ants Mary Coubourn & Hannah Yarnall." 

Mary, Hannah and Sarah Baker took up 50 acres each in Edgmont 
township, by warrants dated Nov. 25, 1684, by which it appears probable 
they came over in the capacity of servants in order to obtain this land.

Of the children of John Baker, Dorothy was married in 1 694 to Philip 
Yarnall, a brother to Francis Yarnall. Sarah was probably killed by 
lightning. The verdict of an inquisition held by Jacob Simcock, coroner, at 
Edgmont, on the 6th of 5 mo. i 699, on the body of Sarah Baker, was that 
" wee can find noe other but that it pleased Almighty God to vissit her with 
death by the force of Thunder." Of her sisters Rebecca and Mary no 
further information has been obtained. 

Joseph Baker, Sr., was a member of the grand jury in March 1685-6, 
and June 1686, and in December 1686 was chosen constable for Gilead, the 
name by which that locality was then called, but in December 1687 "Joseph 
Baker returned John Hoollestone Supervisor of y" High wayes for y'' 
Township of Edgmond for y'" next ensuing year." In i 688 he and Thomas 
Worrellaw were appointed to collect the county levies in Edgmont, and he 
was again a grand juror in 1690. In the years 1700, 1703, 1706, 17 10, 
171 1, and I 713, he was elected to the Assembly from Chester county. In 
the affairs of the meeting he was also active, and in 1695 he and John 
Bowater were appointed overseers for Bowater's Meeting, afterward 
known as Middletown Meeting. On the ist of 11 mo. 1693, "Ordered by 
this meeting that Tho: Worrellaw and Joseph Baker take care for the 
monthly collection in their meeting." But on 8 mo. ist, 1694, "there being 
no collections brought in to this meeting for some months past from John 
Bowater's meeting, This meeting desires Robert Pennell & James Swaffer 
to inquier of Tho: Worrellaw & Joseph Baker, who were appointed to col- 
lect & receive y'' same, and to know y'' reason thereof & bring their answer 
to y'^ next months meeting." 

His will is dated 12 mo. 19, i 714-5, and proven 7 mo. 24, 171 6, in which 
he names his wife, Mrry, and four children, as follows: 



THE BAKERS OF EDGMOXT. 45 

Joseph, d. 1717 ; m. Mary \Vorrihuv, daughter of John and Ann, 3 mo. 18, 1709, and had 
children, Sarah, m. Isaac Strode ; Hannah, m. Joseph Talbot, and Jose])h, m. Mary 
Chamberlin. The widow married John Taylor, county surveyor, sheriff, iron-master, 
and one of the most prominent men of his day in the county. 

Robert, d. 1716 ; m. Susanna Packer, 12 mo. 24, 1709, and had children, Mary, ni. Samuel

Sarah, m. Thomas Smedley, 8 mo. 26, 1710, as already stated. 

The male descendants from Joseph Baker, Sr., arc comparatively few, btit 
in the female lines they are numerous. 

Joseph Baker, Jr., who is believed to have been a nephew of the last, 
appears among the taxables in Edgmont in 1696. He married Martha 
Woodward, daughter of Richard and Jane Woodward, of Middletown, 
about 1698. On 9 mo. 24, 1702, he purchased 100 acres of land in LIpper 
Providence from Samuel Robinet, and appears to have lived there a short 
time, but returning to Edgmont, he sold the above land to Charles Booth, 
of Marple, for ^iio, by deed of Feb. 29, 1703-4. He died in Edgmont, 
January 17, 1735-6, aged 62 years and 16 days, according to the family 
record. Martha, his widow, died December 13, 1775, aged 98 years, 11 
mos., 13 days. These were the ancestors of a host of Bakers, and several 
of their descendants intermarried with descendants of the Smedley family.

" Att a Monthly Meeting held att Middletown on The 29"' Day of the 6'^ 
Month 1709." 

John Edg, son of John Edg, of Providence, and Mary Smedly, Daughter of George Smedly, 
of Westowne, Declared their intentions of Takeing each Other in Marriage, this being the first 
time ; this meeting appoints Thomas Minshall and Joseph Sharplis to make Inquirey into his 
Clearness and Conversation and make Reporte thereof to our next monthly meeting. 

Women's meeting appointed Hannah Yarnall and Elthew Golding to in- 
quire as to Mary Smedley's clearness of other engagements. 

At a Monthly Meeting held at Springfield on the 26"' Day of the 7"^ 
Month 1709. 

John Edg and Mary Smedly Declared their intentions of Takeing each Other in Marriage, 
this being the second time, and nothing appearing to obstruct they are left to their Liberty to 
accomplish their Marriage according to the Good Order of Truth. The meeting Requests 
Francis Yarnall and Aaron James to attend the above s' Marriage and see that Good order be 
keept there and make Reporte to the next mo : meeting. 

8 mo. 31, 1709 : "The friends appointed to attend the Marriage of John 
Edge I^eports that things were well and orderly There." 

The marriage certificate was not recorded. It appears that at that date 
no such record had been opened and it was not until 171S that a book was

obtained for the purpose. Several certificates of earlier date were subse- 
quently placed on record. 

John Edge, Sr., with Jane his wife, came from St. Andrews, Holborne, in 
the county of Middlesex, England. He had purchased from William Penn 
125 acres of land, by deeds of lease and release, dated March 21, 22, 
1 68 1-2, and which was subsequently located in Nether Providence town- 
ship, whereon they settled. They were active members of Priends' meet- 
ing and the monthly meeting was held at their house at different times, in 
1695-8. John Edge is mentioned 3 mo. 6, 1689, as an arbitrator between 
John Worrall and Ann Johnson. He and Robert Vernon were " made 
choyce of for overseers of Providence Meeting" i mo. 25, 1706. Jean 
Edire and Phebe Peckow were chosen overseers for that meeting 10 mo. 
29, 1 701. Jean Edge and Mary Sharpless were chosen to that position 
9 mo. 25, 1706: Jean Edge and Mary Malin, 4 mo. 26, 1710, in place of 
Elinor Vernon and Sarah Crockson, but were succeeded by Elinor Vernon 
and Rebecca Minshall, 7 mo. 24, 1711. "Jean Edgg is chosen overseer for 
Providence meetting along with Mary Sharpells, instead of Abigail 
Woodard," i mo. 29, 1714, but was succeeded by Rebeckah Minshall, 
3 mo. 26, I 71 8. 

John Edge died 5 mo. 10, 1711, aged about 65 years. Mention is made 
in the women's minutes, 3 mo. 27, 1734, that of the collections brought in, 
^i : 5^ were paid to Jane Edge. This was probably the widow of John 
Edge, now living at an advanced age and all her children deceased. 
Joseph Edge, a brother to John, came to this country and both were mem- 
bers of the grand jury in March, 16S6-7. Joseph appears to have re- 
mained unmarried. One Sarah Edge, who married Thomas Bowater 8 
mo., 1686, and died 2 mo. 26, 1692, was perhaps a sister. 

In Besse's "Sufferings of the Quakers," under date of 1680, we read that 
"In Trinit>'-Term this Year, Sir Hugh Windham, one of the Justices of the 
Common Pleas, brought into that Court at Westminster several Informa- 
tions in the Name of Thomas Moore, as Informer, against Thomas Farm- 
borow, of London, Chairmaker, Henry Waddy, John Edge of St. Andrews, 
Holborne, in the County of Middlesex, and John Jones of St. Andrews 
Holborne, Glover, for ^260 each of them, alledged to be forfeited for their 
not coming to hear Common-prayer for thirteen Months past preceding the 
Information, on the Statute of 23d Eliz. made against Popish Recusants." 
Some other Friends being in the like circumstances a statement of the case 
was published and presented to the King and Parliament, and the House 
of Commons resolved that such prosecution of Protestant dissenters was 



48 THE SMEDLEY EAiUILV. 

danqerous to the peace of the king-dom, but failed to provide a remedy. In 
1683 a warrant was granted against George Whitehead for preaching at a 
meeting in the parish of St. Margaret, Westminster, in pursuance of which 
a constable and assistants "came with much Fury and Violence, and broke 
open the Shop, Back door, and several other Doors belonging to the 
Chambers of George Whitehead, and seized all his Beds and Bedclothes, a 
large Looking-Glass, a Scrutore, Cane-Chairs, and other Household Goods, 
also Currants and Sugar out of his Shop, moderately valued by the Owner 
at ^32, but were taken and carried away without suffering any Inventory, 
Weighing, or Appraisement. It happened during the Time of this Seizure 
that two of George Whitehead's Friends, John Edge and Joseph Peckover, 
being accidentally Spectators of the breaking open his Doors, spoke civilly 
to the Constables to keep the Peace, and desired that an Inventory of the 
Goods might be taken, for which the Constables of meer Malice swore a 
Riot against them, and caused them to be bound over to appear at the next 
Sessions; at which they were fined and committed to Newgate, and there 
strictly detained ten Weeks, to their great Loss, being men of considerable 
Trade and Business, and the said Joseph Peckover above eighty Miles from 
Home." In this same year Richard Butcher, John Edge, Christopher Sib- 
thorp, Anthony Ellwood and John Denton suffered distraints of their goods 
to the value ^9 : 1 5.V, for refusing to bear arms. 

Children of John and Jane Edge : 

Mary, d. 2 mo. 17, 1698; m. James Sharpless, i mo. 3, 1697-8. 

Abigail, d. 9 mo. 27, 1716; m. Edward Woodward, 3 mo. 24, 1705. 

John, b. about the beginning of the 5th month, 1685 ; ni. Mary Smedley. 

Jacob, b. 3 mo. S, 1690; d. 2 mo. 7 (?), 1720; m. Sarah Jones, 1712, and had children, 
Hannah, b. 6, iS, 17 13; d. 12, 24, i 750-1; m. John Lea: Jane, b. 9, 3, 1715 ; d. 3, 
28, 1784; m. Thomas Parke and James Webb: Abigail, b. 8, 28, 1717; d. 1781, un- 
married : Sarah, b. 9, 19, 1719; d. 7, 23, 172S. 

It will be seen that all the descendants of this family, bearing the name, 
are also descended from George Smedley. 

John Edge, Jr., and Mary his wife, settled on land which his father had 
purchased, in Upper Providence. He was chosen overseer of Providence 
Meeting, 9 mo. 30, 1713, in the room of James Sharpies, and was succeeded 
by Randal Malin, 6 mo. 29, 1715. Becoming dissatisfied with certain mem- 
bers of Providence Meeting, about 1721, he changed his attendance to 
Middletown Meeting. In addition to farming he was by trade a black- 
smith. He died intestate, possessed of 328 acres of land in Upper Provi- 
dence, and letters of administration were granted to Mary Edge, his widow. 
May 6, 1734. A synopsis of the title to this land will be given later. 



MARY EDGE\ 



49 



At the Orphans' Court, Aug. 2,0, 1739. Jacob, Mary and Rachel, three 
of the children of John Edge, petitioned for guardians, and their uncles, 
Thomas and George Smedley were appointed. At the same time the 
widow asked for an order to sell some of the land, and was given permis- 
sion to sell 35 acres next to Crum Creek and the land of Henry Howard. 
On Oct. 15, 1739, report was made of a sale by vendue, 7 mo. 22, 1739, of 
the 35 acres, to James Albln, of Newtown, tailor, at /2 : 6s per acre. 

Mary Edge was appointed overseer of Middletown Meeting, 1 1 mo. 29, 
17-^8-9 in place of Mary Pennell, and was succeeded by Hannah Howard, 
Q mo "'5 1739. She and John Yarnall declared their intentions of mar- 
riage 6 mo. 27, I 739, at which time Cadwalader Evans and William Pennell 
were appointed to see that her children's rights were secured. They did 
not appear at the next meeting, owing to her indisposition, but on 8 mo. 
29 1739 they were given permission to proceed in the accomplishment of 
their marriage. Cadwalader Evans, Thomas Goodwin, Sarah Lewis and 
Ann Goodwin were appointed to see that the marriage was orderly accom- 
plished John Yarnall, being a resident of Willistown, was a member of 
Goshen Monthly Meeting, to which his wife's membership was transferred 
by a certificate from Chester, dated 11 mo. 28, I739-40, and signed by 
Caleb Covvpland, Clerk, and twenty-four women. Those who signed the 
marriage certificate 9 mo. 7, i739- at Newtown Meeting, were these:

50 THE SMEDLEY FAMILY. 

John Yarnall was first married, 9 mo. 21, 1722, at Newtown Meeting, to 
Ann Coppock, of Willistown, daughter of John Coppock. By this marriage 
he had four children, Sarah, Amos, John and Ann, the last dying young. 
He was married again, 8 mo. 31, 1728, at Newtown Meeting, to Jane 
Thomas, daughter of Evan Thomas, of Easttown, by whom he had five 
children, A.nn, Nathan, Isaac, Joshua and Caleb. In 1764 he was assessed 
with 125 acres of land, 3 horses, 3 catde and 4 sheep, but it is pretty certain 
that young stock were omitted. In his will, dated 8 mo. 26, 1765, proven 
April 25, 1775, he provides for his wife, Mary, and divides his lands between 
his sons, Joshua, Caleb and Isaac. From the fact that the heirs of John 
Edge execute a deed, 3 mo. 21, 1772, for 50 acres of land which had been 
assigned to his widow as her dower, we may suppose that, her death had 
recently occurred. She appears to have been an overseer of Newtown 
Meeting for a time.

Joyned to the meeting of ministers. Ephraim Jackson and Daniel William- 
son are appointed to make the needful Enquiry and draw a Certificate." 

It may be explained that in the Society of Friends or Quakers the minis- 
ters, who received no pay for their services, held meetings for the consider- 
ation of the affairs of the church, and these have been termed "select 
meetings." In 1714 it was thought advisable to appoint some of the 
elderly and most judicious members to sit with them in their meetings, and 
these were styled Elders. It has been the duty of elders to have an over- 
sight of the ministry and the spiritual welfare of the church, while the over- 
seers looked after the moral conduct of the members. The same person 
might fill more than one of these positions at the same time. When a 
member was thought to have a gift in the ministry he or she was recom- 
mended by a certificate from the monthly meeting to the quarterly meeting 
of ministers and elders. The term of office of an elder lasted while the 
proper qualifications remained, but overseers were appointed at first for no 
definite period and changes were often made at their own requests. At 
length a rule was established by which reappointments of overseers should 
occur at stated periods. No singing or other music was heard in the 
assemblies, and the term " church " referred to the organization and not to 
the building in which they met. With the belief that true worship was "in 
spirit and in truth," meetings were frequently silent ; and when preaching 
or prayer was heard it was at the promptings of the spirit and could not be 
predicted in advance. To have referred to a minister as "Reverend" 
would have been shocking irreverence, and the idea that he could join peo- 
ple in marriage, rank heresy. In some parts of the United States there are 
conereeations still claiming the name of Friends who have reverted to the 
practices of other denominations, and have their minister who is expected 
to speak at stated times and for pay, while a choir fills up the time not 
occupied by other exercises, and silent worship is scarcely a tradition to the 
younger members. For the information of the latter, so far as they are de- 
scendants of the Smedley family, it may be said that Quakerism as they see 
it bears no resemblance to that of their ancestors one hundred years ago. 

While the appointment of elders by the men's meeting dated Irom 171 4, 
it was not till 1 740, that the Yearly Meeting declared the practice equally 
applicable to women. At Chester Monthly Meeting, 2 mo. 26, 1742: "The 
women friends acquaints this meeting that Pursuant to the directions of y*^ 
Quarterly Meeting for appointing women to sit in the Ministers Meeting 
they have Chose Grace Lloyd for Chester, Hannah Levis for Springfield, 
and Mary Smedley for Middletown for that purpose." Of the ministry ot

George Smedley we have no further account, and it was probably confined 
to his own meetings and his services to the visiting of families. It is men- 
tioned, 3 mo. 23, 1764, that he was a subscriber to George Fox's Journal 

(3d edition). 

By deed of April 7, 171 7, his father conveyed to him the Middletown 
tract of 295 acres, excepting 30 acres formerly sold to Thomas Barnsley. 
He also purchased, May 17, 1726, from his brother Thomas, 250 acres in 
Willistown; and from Richard Barry, Dec. 26, 1728, 75 acres more in that 
township. Of the 250 acre tract, he and his wife conveyed to their son 
George 147 acres, 8 mo. 2, 1749, and to their son Joshua, 9 mo. i, 1750, 95 
acres more. The remaining 8 acres, with the Barry tract, they conveyed to 
their son Caleb, Jan. 12, 1761. The homestead, in Middletown, was dis- 
posed of by will. 

John Sh.^rples, baptized at Wybunbury, Cheshire, England, Aug. 15, 
1624, died near Chester, Pa., 4 mo. 11, 1685; son of Geoffrey and Margaret 
(Ashley) Sharpies; married 2 mo. (April) 27, 1662, Jane Moore, born 1638; 
died near Chester, Pa., 9 mo. i, 1722. They became members of the 
Society of Friends in Cheshire, whence they migrated to Pennsylvania, 
arriving at Upland, now Chester, on the 14th of 6th month (August), 1682. 
Their children were Phebe, John, Thomas, James, Caleb, Jane and Joseph, 
of whom Thomas died on the passage and Phebe, Caleb and Jane within a 
few years after their arrival. 

John Sii.\rples, Jr., born at Blakenhall, 11 mo. 16, 1666; died near 
Chester, Pa., 9 mo. 7, 1747; married 9 mo. 23, 1692, at a meeting at John 
Bowater's house, Middletown, Hannah Pennell, b. 7 mo. 23, 1673; d. 10 
mo. 31, 1721; dau. of Robert and Hannah Pennell, of Middletown. Jane, 
their 2d child, married George Smedley, Jr. 

WiLLi.\M Hammans, son of Henry Hammans, of the parish of Nimpsfield, 
in the county of Gloucester, England, and ISIargaret Staples, daughter of 
William Staples, of the parish of Minchinghampton, in the said county, were 
married at a Friends' meeting at Naylsworth, 30th of 4th month, 1 709. 

At Concord Monthly Meeting, 6 mo. 8, 1715: "William Hammans pro- 
duced a Certificate from the monthly meeting held at Painswick in the 
County of Gloster in the Kingdom of Great Britain the 8th day of the 2d 
mo. 1 71 4, to the satisfaction of this meeting." It is somewhat singular that 
this certificate did not include his wife, and it was not till 3 mo. 7, 1722, that 
"Margrat Hammans produced a few lines of recommendation from friends 
of Nailsworth in Gloster sheir, dated 9th of ist month 1721." They

resided for a time in Concord township, but in 1722 removed to Upper 
Providence, taking a certificate to Chester Monthly Meeting, dated 7 mo. 3, 
1722. Here he was recommended as a minister, in 1725, and Margaret 
died 9 mo. 4, 1731, aged 46 years. Their children were: 

Mary, b. i mo. 28, 1710; d. 2 mo. 18, 1774; m. George Smedley'. 

Martha, b. 7 mo. 6, 171 3 ; m. Thomas Yarnall, 9 mo. 21, 1734. Their youngest child,

William Staples, senior, died i mo. 9, 171 5-6, according to the records 
of Nailsworth Monthly Meeting. William Hammans, of Upper Provi- 
dence, widower, and Lowry Lewis, of Newtown, widows were married 10 
mo. 27, 1732, at Newtown Meeting. In 1738 they removed to Duck 
Creek, in Kent county, on Delaware, where Lowry died. William was 
married a 3d time, 5 mo. 6, 1752, at Concord Meeting, to Lydia Menden- 
hall, of Concord, widow of Benjamin Mcndenhall. She died on the 4th 
of the following 7th month, but he could not have remained long a widower, 
for when his own death occurred, 4 mo. 8, 1755, he left a widow, Mary, 
formerly wife of Abraham Potter, of Sussex county. Her death took place 
about 1773. All of his wives, except the first, were ministers. 

A Testimony from Duck Creek Monthly Meeting, in Kent County on Delaware, concerning 
William Hammans. 

He was born in Old England, in the year 16S3, and educated in the profession of the 
church of England ; but as he grew up he became uneasy with the ways and ceremonies 
thereof; and being a diligent seeker after the true way of worship, in a short time joined with 
Friends ; soon after which he left his native country, being but a young man although married, 
and coming over to Pennsylvania, settled in Chester County, and after some time received a 
gift in the ministry. By keeping low and humble, and attending thereto, he became an able 
minister, having a particular gift in quoting the scriptures and explaining them clearly to the 
understandings of the people. About the year 1738, he removed within the hmits of our 
monthly meeting, where his service was very considerable, being well qualified for the disci- 
pline of the church, and very exemplary in attending meetings, both for worship and disci- 
pline, and an humble waiter therein. Divers within the bounds of our monthly meeting were 
convinced by his ministry, and others who had been convinced before, were thereby further 
confirmed in the truth of the gospel. 

Living in a public place, he had much of Friends' company, whom he was very hearty in 
entertaining, and so continued to the end of his time ; and departed this life the Sth day of 
the fourth month i 755, in the seventy-second year of his age. On the i ith of the said month, 
was interr'd in Friends' burying-ground at Duck Creek.

SARAH WILLIAMSONS 59 

THE WILLIAMSON FAMILY. 

In the account of the sufferings of Friends in Cheshire, Eng., we read 
tliat in November, 1663, Tliomas Buckley, Dorothy Deane, WilHam Bur- 
tonwood and Ellen Williamson were imprisoned by Writs dc Exccmnmni- 
cato capiendo upon Prosecutions in the Ecclesiastical Court for Tithes. In 
1683, Thomas Williamson and others were committed to prison for being 
at a meeting at Newton. 

On the 31st of the Month called January, Thomas Needham and Philip Egerton, Justices, 
came to a Meeting at Newton, and finding a Person at Prayer, Justice Needham fell upon 
him, beat him on the Head, and punched him on the Breast with his Cane, pulled his Neck- 
cloth in pieces, and threw him down and kicked him. He also struck several others so that 
their Heads were swelled with the Blows. The other Justices desired him to forbear, saying, 
Let us prosecute the Law upon them, but not abuse them. Thus checked he forbore striking, 
but continued railing, telling them they were Dogs and no Men, no more Christians than their 
Horses, &c. Then they took their Names, fined them, and granted Warrants for Distress, by 
which was taken from John Williamson of Creewood-hall, a mare worth ^^8. [&c.]. 

Daniel Williamson came from Cheshire to Pennsylvania, in 1682, as a 
servant with Robert Taylor, of Little Leigh, in that county, whose daughter 
he calls "cousin" in his will. His sister Ellen (also written Helen and 
Eleanor,) was married to Bartholomew Coppock, of High Leigh, and 
another sister, IMary, was the wife of John Howell, of Budworth, all in 
Cheshire. Howell and wife came over in 16S3, in company with Robert 
Taylor's wife and children, and setded in Marple township. Bartholomew 
Coppock and wife settled in Springfield. By agreement with Robert 
Taylor, Daniel Williamson was to receive 50 acres of land for his services, 
in addition to the 50 acres granted by Penn to servants. The whole 100 
acres were laid out Oct. 22, 1683, by warrant of Oct. 20, 1683, along with 
300 acres, the purchase of John Howell, in Marple, and all patented to 
Howell July 25, 16S4. The latter, by a codicil to his will, directed his exe- 
cutors to confirm the 100 acres to Daniel Williamson, to wliom it was sub- 
sequently patented, Jan. 10, 1708. 

Among the passengers on the "Endeavour," of London, George Thorp, 
master, which arrived here the 29th of 7 mo., 1683, beside the Howells and 
Taylors above mentioned, were Thomas Pearson and Margery his wife, the 
grandparents of Benjamin West, who came from Pownall, in Cheshire; also 
John Pearson, his brother, and Mary Smith, his wife's sister. These two 
doubdess came as servants in order to get their 50 acres each, and a 
warrant for that amoi nt was granted Oct. 6, 1683. The land was located 
in Marple. 



6o THE SMEDLEY FAMILY. 

Daniel Williamson and Mary Smith declared their intentions of marriage 
at Chester Monthly Meeting, 7 mo. 7, 1685, and Robert Taylor and 
Thomas Pearson, Grace Stanfield and Ellen Coppock were appointed to 
make inquiry as to their clearness. On their second appearance, 8 mo. 5, 
1685, they were given liberty to accomplish their marriage. Issue: 

Robert, b. 10 mo. 3, 1686 ; m. his cousin Hannah Coppock. 

Daniel, b. S mo. 6, 1688 ; m. Hannah, daughter of Randal Mahn. 

John, b. 7 mo. 11, 1690; m. Sarah Smedley. 

Mary, b. 7 mo. 25, 1692 ; m. Myrick Davies. 

Thomas, b. 10 mo. to, 1694 ; ni. Ann Mahn, 17 14. 

Joseph, b. 2 mo. 25, 1697 ; living in 1727. 

Margaret, b. 12 mo. 12, 1698; m. Joshua Thomson, of Ridley. 

Abigail, b. 7 mo. 16, 1702 ; d. 12 mo. 28, 1775 ; m. John Yarnall and William Garrett. 

A patent was granted Jan. 29, 1684, to Thomas Rudyard for two tracts 
of 450 acres and 50 acres, in Newtown township. On July 15, 1685, Riid- 
yard conveyed the same land to Andrew Robeson, of Philadelphia, and he 
to Daniel Williamson, Nov. 24, 1692. The latter appears to have settled 
in Newtown and there remained till 1723, when he removed to Edgmont 
township, taking a certificate from Goshen to Chester Monthly Meeting, 
dated 4 mo. 7, 1723, in which he is spoken of as "having been a man for 
peace and Quietness among his ffriends and Neighbours; and also free and 
Liberall on Truth's account, and we are Loath to part with him but that we 
hope the altering of his Sircumstances may be for his more Comfortable 
satisfaction for the future; so we Recommend him unto you, thinking it not 
needfull to Enlarge because allready Known to you," &c. This was signed 
by thirty-one of the members. 

Application being made to the women's monthly meeting, 7 mo. 6, 1823, 
for a certificate for Mary Williamson, to Chester, "this meeting thought 
that she most Propperly belonged to that meeting already." Hannah 
Yarnall, Mary Lewis and Mary Ashbridge were appointed to go to Chester 
Monthly Meeting to ascertain their view of the matter. They reported 
that Chester recognized her as their member. The following proceedings 
relate to the marriage of their eldest daughter, and show the spirit of the 
time. At Chester Monthly Meeting, 11 mo. 28, 171 1-2: 

Springfield friends have spoke with Mary Williamson at their preparative meeting about 
going to her Daughter's marridge that was married contrary to friends orders, & she seemed 
to be sorry for it & desired friends would bare with her a litell Longer, soe friends Letts it 
Rest to see what she will doe of her selfe.

The will of Daniel Williamson, of Edgmont, is dated March 7, 1725-6, 
and proven March 8, 1727-8, in which his wife and all his children are 
mentioned. 

Although John Williamson became a steady Friend and a minister later 
in life, the evidence shows that he was somewhat "frisky" in his earlier 
years. At Chester Monthly Meeting, held at Newtown, 6 mo. 30, 1714, 
"John Williamson appeared at this meeting and acknowledged himself to 
blame for running at a Horse Race at Chester faire, and is heartily sorry 
for it and hopes to never to do the like again." 

Tradition says that he paid his respects to one Priscilla Thomas as well 
as to Sarah Smedley, and had decided in favor of the former, but being at a 
vendue buying goods for housekeeping, .Sarah came to him and said she 
.should die if he married Priscilla. In some perturbation of mind John went 
to Priscilla to find out what to do about it. She advised him to marry 
Sarah, adding that it never should be said that she, Priscilla, died for any 
man. It is further stated that a Maryland gentleman, hearing of the 
circumstance, and admiring Priscilla's independence, sought her hand in 
marriage. John Williamson was at this time an attender of Springfield 
Meeting. At the monthly meeting, at Providence, 2 mo. 25, 1715, — 

Springfield meeting complains against John Williamson for being one of the Chief acters in 
Dresing a man, Pretending him to be a dead man or Corps, at Daniel Calvert's, and bringing 
of him into the house to affright the People : he being by some of them there Reproved for it, 
and was asked how he would answer it to the monthly meeting : his Reply was, it was but 
Giveing in a paper, and they might Get a Box and Call it Williamson's Box : for which Pre- 
sumptious action and slight answer this meeting taking into Consideration and appoints 
ffrancis Yarnall and George Ashbridge to speak with him to be at our next monthly meeting to 
answer the above complaint. 

For the Preservation of our Youth and others at the fair at Chester the meeting appoints 
Caleb Pusey, John Sharpies, 'I'ho' Vernon and William Swarford to attend the fair and report 
to next meeting of their care. 

At Middletown, 3 mo. 30, 171 5: John Williamson appeared and prom- 
ised amendment, whereupon he was recommended to the care of Newtown 
Meeting, to which he desired to belong. "The friends that were appointed 
to attend Chester faire in order for the Preservation of Youth, Reports 



62 THE SMEDLEY FAMILY. 

Although there was some undesent or Disorderly Carriages by some that 
was there, yett in the maine they Believe they were of some servis." 

By deed of Sept. 29, 17 13, Daniel Williamson, of Newtown, yeoman "as 
well ffor the Consideration of the natural Love and affection that he hath 
and beareth Towards John Williamson of Newtown affors*^ yeo. (third son 
of the s*' Daniel), as also ffor and in Consideration of the full and Just sum 
of Seventy five pounds of good and current silver money of pensilvania," 
conveyed to the latter 315 acres of land in Newtown. This was a part 
of the 450 acres purchased from Andrew Robeson, and included i 14 acres 
which had been laid out to Daniel Williamson as overplus land. As 
witnesses the names of Mary Williamson, Charles Brooks, Thomas Wil- 
liamson and Mirick Davies appear. A memorandum was endorsed, that 
Peaceable & quiet possession and Seisin was had and taken by John Wil- 
liamson, Feb. 12, 171 3-4. This deed was not acknowledged or recorded, 
except that on Nov. 27, 1770, Abel Green affirmed as to the signature 
of Thomas Williamson, before H. H. Graham, Esq. 

By another deed, dated Dec. 10, 17 18, Daniel Williamson and Mary his 
wife convey to their son John Williamson, all of New Town, 4 acres, 100 
perches additional land, adjoining the above. The witnesses were Thomas 
Williamson, Joseph Williamson and John Allin. Abel Green again affirmed 
as to the signature of Thomas Williamson, but the deed was not recorded. 

With the establishment of Goshen Monthly Meeting, in 1722, Newtown 
Meeting ceased to be a branch of Chester Monthly Meedno-. At Goshen 
Monthly Meeting, 4 mo. 19, 1732, the representatives of Newtown Meeting 
requested that John Williamson and Sarah his wife might be recommended 
to the meeting of ministers and elders. Lawrence Pearson and John 
Yarnall were appointed to prepare a few lines for that purpose. On 5 mo. 
17, 1732, the recommendation was produced, approved and signed. On 12 
mo. 17, 1734-5, Sarah Williamson laid before the meeting a concern she 
had felt to visit the meetincrs of Friends in New England and on Lono- 
Island. A committee was appointed to make inquiry and prepare a certifi- 
cate for her use, which was signed i mo. loth. On 4 mo. 16, 1735, she 
produced a return certificate from the Yearly Meeting at blushing, L. I., 
and one from the monthly meeting at Mamaroneck, N. Y. At the first 
session of Goshen Monthly Meeting, 2 mo. 6, 1722, "Sarah Williamson is 
Chosen overseer of Newtown Meeting along with Lowry Lewis, Instead of 
Elizabeth Thomas." In this office she was succeeded by Esther Pearson, 
6 mo. 4, 1727. She and her husband were frequently appointed on com- 
mittees to visit families and for other services.

PROVIDENCE (OR BISHOP'S) MILLS. 

The following history of these mills, as collected by the late Minshall 
Painter and printed by his brother Jacob, at their home in Middletown, is 
here given as an instructive side-light on the customs of former times, in 
which the Smedleys and their associates were directly interested: 

In the early settlement of the country, after the timber had been greatly reduced, which was 
the work of some years, the raising of grain had become a principal business. The soil was 
then rich with the remains of the forest, and required but little more than putting in the seed 
to insure a crop. The mills were then places of importance, being necessary as a means of 
putting the crops into a condition for market, and from which the inhabitants derived a con- 
siderable part of their revenue. We have taken some ;)ains to look up the history of this old 
mill as having a local importance. While some landed estates have descended from age to 
age in nearly the same line, this mill property has been one for speculation ; frequently chang- 
ing ownership, and the more so by being divided into shares. 

William Penn, Proprietor of Pennsylvania, by a patent under the hands of his- Commission- 
ers, Samuel Carpenter, Robert Turner, and John Goodson, did grant, on the 24th of June 
1690, to James Swaffer, 500 acres of land situated in Providence, Chester County; and the 
said James Swaffer, by two several deeds, dated 13th of September 1693, and nth of Decem- 
ber 1695, did grant the said 500 acres to Jeremiah Collett ; and Jeremiah Collett, by inden- 
ture dated nth of June 1696, did grant the same 500 acres to Josiah Taylor; and Josiah 
Taylor, by deed, 14th of June 1696, did grant the said 500 acres to John P^dge ; and John 
Edge made his will, loth of 5th mo. ijn, by which he gave to his son John 300 acres of land, 
to be taken off the upper part of said 500 acres, and gave to his son Jacob the residue of his 
land. John Edge, the son, purchased of Philip Yarnal! a small piece of land on the west side 
of Ridley creek, in Edgmont, to secure a right for a mill pond, and which was ever after con- 
veyed with the mill property. 



72 THE SMEDLEY FAMILY. 

The said John Edge, Jacob Edge and }Ienry Miller, by mutual agreement, erected a water 
corn mill on a part of the above mentioned land of John Edge, who allotted for that purpose 
about 20 acres in addition to that purchased of Philip Yarnall. John Edge and Mary his wife, 
by deed dated 17th Dec. 17 19, conveyed in fee to Henry Miller one-third part of the said 
corn mill, and one-third part of the two recited parcels of land whereon the mill stands, con- 
taining in the whole 22 acres, 3 roods and 10 perches: and the said Henry Miller made his 
will, 14th 12 mo. 1 73 1, and gave to his son George Miller his share of said corn mill and lands 
belonging thereto, now called "Providence Mills:" and George Miller conveyed, on the loth 
Dec. 1740,10 Roger sPugh the undivided one-third part of the said mill and land. Roger 
Pugh and Sarah his wife sold the one-third part of said water corn mill and land to Lawrence 
Cox on the 8th 5th mo. 1746; and Lawrence Cox and Sarah his wife conveyed said share to 
their eldest son John, on the 25th ist mo. 1752 ; and John Cox and Mary his wife conveyed, 
on the 2 2d Feb. 1755, their share to Thomas Bishop. 

Again, John I'Mge granted to Jacob Edge, 17th Dec. 1719, one-third part of said mill and 
two tracts of land, and Jacob Edge made his will 3d of 2d mo. 1720, and gave to his wife 
Sarah his share of Providence mills, being the one-third part, during her life, and afterwards 
to be divided between his four daughters, Jane, Hannah, Sarah and .Abigail. Hannah and 
Sarah died before their mother, and their shares descended to Jane and Abigail. On the 2d 
Jan. 1 77 I, James Webb and Jane his wife, John Lownes [who had married Agnes Cowpland, 
daughter of Caleb Cowpland by Sarah, widow of Jacob Edge], Owen Biddle [who had married 
Sarah Parke,] and Robert Parke conveyetl to Thomas Bishop the one-sixth of said mill and 
tracts of land ; and on the 21st Mar. 1771, .Abigail Edge conveyed to Thomas Bishop the one" 
sixth of the same premises also. 

On the 29th of Nov. 1721, John Edge and Mary his wife conveyed to William Hamraans 
one-third part of mills and two parcels of lands, the same as to Jacob Edge and Henry Miller ; 
and said William Hammans, by will, gave one-third part of said mill and tracts of land to his 
son Thomas, who devised the one-third part of said mills and tracts of land to his wife, 
Susanna, and son William ; and Susanna dying intestate, the whole descended to the said 
William; and on the 28th Mar. 1781, William Hammans sold the third part to Thomas 
Bishop ; so the whole of the mill and two tracts became united in Thomas Bishop. 

On the 29th of Nov. 1785, by Proceedings in Partition, the above described mill and tracts 
of land were adjudged to Thomas Bishop, eldest son of Thomas Bishop, deceased, and Thomas 
Bishop, by will, dated 23d of 2d mo. 1833, bequeathed to his wife, Priscilla, this mill property 
with other real estate. Priscilla Bishop, by will, 12th of 3d mo. 1845, bequeathed to her son 
Amor Bishop that portion of her real estate designated as the mill property, and on which he 
then resided ; and Amor Bishop, by will, 28th July 1856, bequeathed this same property to his 
son Washington; and Washington Bishop and Louisa his wife conveyed, 21st Mar. 1862, the 
mill and a portion of his land to Joseph D. Velotte, and which has since been conveyed to 
William L. Lewis. 

William Hammans leased, i6th Sept. 1746, to Lawrence Cox one-third part of the Provi- 
dence mills for 2 t years ; which lease, by endorsement, was transferred to Thomas Bishop for 
the residue of the term. Lawrence Cox, by lease, 25th April 1751, did let to Thomas Min- 
shall, John Minshall, Thomas Yarnall and John Cox, for 14 years, a certain Saw mill adjoining 
the Grist mill. 

On the 1 7th of 2 mo. 1 753, John Cox leased all the Grist and Merchant mill, with two pairs 
of stones, three bolting chests, &c., to John Williamson, Henry Howard, Henry Caldwell, 
Lawrence Cox, Edward Farr, James Sill, Nehemiah Baker, Philip Dunn, Robert Regester, 



L INF. O /' GE OR GK ' , 'n/OAfAS \ 7 , 

James Scott, Aaron Baker, Abel Green, Thomas Minshall, John Scott, Jesse Woodward, James 
Massey, John Baker, Joseph Black, Nathan Lewis and William Wall, for the term of seven 
years. 

We cannot understand who so many farmers thought it necessary to rent the Grist and 
Merchant mill, unless to gain precedence in having their grain ground as early as they might 
desire, and who were perhaps their own shippers. We notice that John Minshall sent his flour 
to Barbatloes, in 1746, and to Jamaica, by the brig Dolphin, of Wilmington, in i 749, in charge 
of his brother Moses, who was a sea captain, and received sugar, in part, in return. 

By indenture, 22A of Feb. 1755, Caleb Cowpland and Sarah his wife [late wife of Jacob 
Edge], Thomas Parke and Jane [lulge] his wife, and .Abigail Edge did let their share of the 
water corn mill, and lands thereunto belonging, unto Thomas Bishop for the term of ten years. 
During the time of Thomas Bishop, the younger, there was erected in addition to the other 
mills a rolling mill for the manufacture of sheet iron, but after being o]ierated for a time it was 
suffered to fall into decay. The coal used was brought from the Schuylkill mines in wagons. 

The better to secure a passage across the creek at all times, a subscription was entered into, 
in 1763, for the purpose of raising means to erect a bridge immediately below the mills. It 
proved a great inconvenience not to be able to pass and repass to a place of such importance 
as that where they had their grain manufactured into flour for shipment. 

A circulating Library was established at these mills, which for a time was prosperous, but 
more recently, when cheap periodicals became so common, the Library began to languish, and 
it is now entirely broken up. 

7. Francis SmedleyMThomas^ Georye), b. Willistown, 7, 12, 1 71 2; 
d. there, 9, iS, 1773; m. 4, 24, 1742, at Middletown Meeting, to Ann 
Hunter, d. 1794; dau. of Jonathan and Margery Hunter, of Edgmont, and 
granddau. of Peter and Ann Hunter, who came from county Wicklow, 
Ireland, about 171 7. They left no issue. 

At Chester Monthly Meeting, 11, 28, 1739-40, "Ann Hunter requests to 
Come under the Care of this meeting & this meeting Excepts of it." Alter 
marriage she received a certificate to Goshen, 5, 25, 1743. She was chosen 
overseer of Goshen meeting, 6, 6, i 760, instead of Ann Goodwin, and was 
succeeded by Elizabeth Hoopes, 11, 6, 1761. 

By deed of 6, 18, 1747, Francis Smedley obtained 30 acres of land in 
Willistown from James Treviller and Catharine his wife, who had purchased 
229 acres from Samuel Pennock and Elizabeth his W'ife, of Philadelphia. 
From the same parties he obtained 60 acres more out of the same tract, 
9, 27, 1753. Richard Battin and Elizabeth his wife, March 20, 1749-50, 
conveyed to Francis Smedley 52 acres, 93 perches, formerly of John James; 
and on Oct. i, 1764, David Reece and wife, Sarah, of Newtown, and John 
Co.x, of Chester township, executors of Lawrence Cox, conveyed to Francis 
Smedley 2093^ acres in Willistown, whereon said Lawrence Cox lived at 
the time of his death. Francis also inherited from his father 223 acres 
of the Bowater tract, and was livine thereon at the date of his father's will,

but leaving no issue this land passed to his brother John. In 1766 he 
appears to have engaged in tavern-keeping, an unusual occupation for a 
Smedley, and as a sample of such documents his first petition is here given:

The above petition being granted, Francis Smedley continued to keep 
tavern the few remaining years of his life. Like many others who have 
entered upon this business, he became too good a customer at his own bar, 
and was disowned by Friends, i, 8, 1773. In 1764 he was assessed with 
340 acres and buildings, beside 100 acres of woodland, 5 horses, 6 cattle 
and 6 sheep. By his will, dated 8, 16, 1773, proven Sept. 25, 177;, he

devised the homestead, contalnintr about 223 acres, which lie had inherited 
from his father, to his brothers, Thomas and George, at the deatli of his 
wife: To brother Jolin /,'5 : To sister Sarah, wife of John Minshall, /J5: 
To cousin Abiah Taylor £^: To cousin Hannah, dau. of Isaiah Mallack, 
^"10 at 18: To wife Ann the plantation formerly belonging to Lawrence 
Cox, James Travilla and John James, containing about 353 acres. 

By his father's will he had only a life estate in the homestead, and had 
his brother John died without issue it would have gone to I'homas and 
George, as Francis appears to have desired; but |ohn after a lengdi)- 
bachelorhood had married and a daughter Elizabeth was born a few weeks 
prior to the date of Francis's will. At Goshen Monthly Meeting, 8, 5, 
1774, John Smedley brought complaint against Ann Smedley, widow of 
Francis, for keeping him out of his rights. A committee appointed to 
examine into the matter reported that it was a case concerning title to 
lands, wills and executorship, in which several persons not members were 
concerned, and it was thought best to allow the parties to try the matter 
at law. 

Ann Smedley removed to Edgmont township, taking a certificate from 
Goshen to Chester, dated i, 6, 17S6. By deed of Aug. 30, 1786, from Wil- 
liam Gibbons, sheriff, she purchased 10 acres adjoining her other land in 
Willistown, lately belonging to William Robinson. In her will, dated 4, 10, 
I 794, she describes herself as under weight of years and weakness of body. 
Her plantation in Willistown, called the Rising Sun, was to be divided into 
two parts. To her cousin (niece) Ann Scott, wife of John Scott (and 
daughter ot Peter Hunter), the southern part, reserving the 10 acres pur- 
chased at sheriff's sale, which she devised to her kinsman, Francis .Smedley, 
son of George and Hannah: To her cousin (niece) Mary Smedley, wife 
of Jesse (and daughter of Isaiah and Mary Hunter Madack), the northern 
part of the land: Ann Scott and Mary Smedley to pay each /'loo, and 
Francis .Smedley, /30, to the executors. To Willistown Meeting ^50 for 
repairs of house and graveyard: To Priscilla Green, wife of George, ^10: 
To .Sarah Smedley, daughter of George, deceased, £\o: To cousin Sarah 
Starr, daughter of John Minshall, ^10. There were several other legatees 
on the Hunter side. As executors she appointed Josiah Lewis (father 
of Judge William Lewis, of Philadelphia,) and Jesse Smedley. 

The Rising Sun tavern was kept by John Scott, 1773-5; '^V Joshua 
Smith, 1776; by Richard Thornbury, 1782-3; by John Scott, 1785-7; by 
Benjamin Matlack, 1788-91; by John Scott, i 793-1800, and perhaps later.

Widow Dorothy Dawson lived with her daughter, Ann Tomkins, in 
Charlestown, Chester county, in the house which the latter built on the hill 
by Mason's tavern. Whilst on her death-bed, hearing that water frequently 
rose in the graves at Providence, she requested that they would not drown 
her after she was dead, but take her corpse to Pikeland, which was just 
established. She was the first one interred in that graveyard and her 
granddaughter, Elizabeth Starr, wife of Joseph Starr, planted an apple tree 
at the head of her grave, which blew down a few years since, and the place 
is now supplied by a Lombardy poplar. — D. Longstreth, 1831. See Daiu-

Benjamin Dawson's wife, Elizabeth Fussell, b. about 1727, was the 
daughter of Solomon Fussell (b. in Yorkshire, Eng., 1704, emigrated to 
Penna., and settled in Philadelphia about i 721, where he was a merchant;

son of William and Elizabeth I'"ussell) and wife, Susanna Coney, daughter 
of Jacob Coney and wife Barbara, daughter of William Clinkenbeard, who 
d. about 1753, in the 104th year of his age. Benjamin and Susanna 
Dawson were Friends and resided at Smyrna, Del., where she d. 9, 8, 1792, 
in her 66th year. They had twelve children, lohn, Su.sanna, Dorothy. 
.Solomon, .Sarah, Benjamin, William, Iilizabcth, Isaac, Jacob, James and 
Elizabeth. 

It is related of William Clinkenbeard that upon the birth of .Susanna 
Dawson he said to his daughter Barbara Coney, "Arise daughter, go see 
thy daughter, for thy daughter's daughter has a daughter." This Susanna 
Dawson, having seen her gt. gt. gr. father, lived to see her gt. gt. gr. chil- 
dren, making nine generations that came under her observation. She was 
first m. in 1763, to Thomas Cowgill, who d. 1766, by whom she had a dau.

and her mother received a certificate from Duck Creek, which was pro- 
duced at Goshen, 3, 11, 1774. 

John Smedley inherited the homestead, in Willistown, together with 400 
acres of land, to which he added 20 acres in Goshen by purchase from 
George Ashbridge and wife Jane, Feb. 22, 1760. His brodier Francis 
dying without issue, in 1773, he inherited the land of the latter, being 223 
acres. In 1766 his brother George Smedley was disowned by Goshen 
Monthly Meeting, to which proceeding John took such decided exceptions 
that he became subject to the discipline and was disowned 1 2, 9, i 768. He 
appealed to the Quarterly Meeting and thence to the Yearly Meeting, by 
both of which the judgment of the monthly meeting was confirmed. He 
finally made an acknowledgment, which was accepted 3, 5, 1773, and he 
was received again into membership. 

The will of John Smedley, of Willistown, is dated 4, 1, 1793, and proven 
Aug. 26, 1793. After making provision for his wife he devised to his son 
Thomas the land formerly of his brother Francis, 223 acres, out of which

Thomas Minshall, son of John Minshall, of Lachford, Cheshire, Eng., 
with Margaret, his wife, came from the parish of Stoak, in Cheshire, 1682, 
and setded in the upper part of Nether Providence. Before leaving Eng- 
land he had purchased 625 acres in Pennsylvania, by deeds of lease and 
release, dated March 21, 22, 1681-2. By warrant of Sept. 9, 1682, there 
was surveyed to him 300 acres in Nether Providence. He also took up 
315 acres in Middletown and purchased from Henry HoUingsworth 127 
acres more in that township. Providence Meeting was held at first at his 
house, and afterward at a house erected for the purpose on his land. On 
the 1 6th of 6 mo., 1707, he conveyed the land in Nether Providence to his 
.son Isaac, and at the same time that in Middletown to his son Jacob. His 
wife d. 3, 27, 1727, aged 74 years and^8 mos., but the time of his death has 
not been noticed. 

Jacob Minshall, b. 5, i, 1685; d. 5, 15, 1734; m. 1707, Sarah Owen, 
dau. of Dr. Griffith Owen, of Philadelphia, and setded in Middletown. 
Their children were Thomas, who married Agnes Salkeld, Sarah, Margaret, 
John, who married Sarah Smedley, Moses and Ann. 

John Minshall was frequently appointed on committees or represented 
Middletown Meeting at the monthly gatherings, and on 2, 9, 1763, was 
appointed with others to pay a religious visit to such as were delinquent in 
attendance of meetings. At Chester Monthly Meedng, 4, 23, 1757, "The 
women friends have acquainted this meeting that they have proposed 
Agnes the wife of Thomas Minshall and Sarah, the wife of John Minshall, 
for Elders to sit with the ministrine friends in their meetinof> in the room 
of Mary Smedley, which is approved of till further order." 5, 31, 1762: 
"Esther Bickerdike being about to Remove from this meeting has put 
Friends under a necessity of Chouseing a Clark which is Sarah Minchall." 
Jane Yarnall, wife of Nathan, was appointed an elder for Middletown Meet-

ing, 3, 23, 1770, and Agnes and Sarah IMinshall released. Pliebe Miller, 
Agnes iMinshall and Martha Sharpies were appointed, 9, 25, 1772, to 
correct the women's minutes, and Sarah Minshall to transcribe them. 
"Sarah Minshall desires to be released from being Clark & Rebekali 
Sharpies is chosen in her room," 6, 24, 1776. 

In 1764 John Minshall was assessed in Middletown with 240 acres and 
buildings, 128 acres of uncultivated land, 5 horses, 12 cattle and 11 sheep, 
and his tax was /2-16-9. By his will, dated 12, 27, 1783, proven May 27, 
1784, provides for his wife, Sarah; gives to dau. Jane Longstreth die

and all residue of estate, except that after wife's decease each daughter was 
to have £100. Sarah Minshall, in will dated 2, 23, 1799, gave to Middle- 
town Meeting £^ for the use of the poor. 

10. Mary SmedleyMrhomas', George), b. 10, 22, 1719; d. between 
6, 20, and 7, 10, 1739; m. 11, 12, 1737, at Goshen Meeting, to Samuel 
Taylor, d. 1759; son of Abiah Taylor and Deborah Gearing, of Kast 
Bradford township, Chester County. He was married again, 10, 16, 1741. 
at Birmingham Meeting, to Deborah Darlington, b. 7, 13, 1719; buried at 
Goshen Meeting, 2, 10, 1803; clau. of Abraham Darlington and Elizabeth 
Hillborn, of Birmingham. The burial of the second wife at Goshen was 
probably because the first was interred there, though the Taylors did not 
belong to that meeting. Issue of Samuel and Mary Taylor :

From the large number of witnesses signing the marriage certificate, as 
recorded, it would appear that the wedding of Samuel Taylor and Mary 
Smedley was an important event of the neighborhood, there being 8S 
names. By his 2d marriage Samuel Taylor had children, Samuel, Deborah, 
Abraham, John, Isaac, Mary, Elizabeth and Rachel. 

Abiah Taylor, yeoman, son of Abiah Taylor, of Didcot, in Berkshire, 
and Deborah Gearing, spinster, daughter of John Gearing, of Stanford in 
the Vale, in the same county, were married at Farringdon in the County of 
Berks, aforesaid, on the i8th of the Second Month, called April, 1694. 
The bride signed her maiden name to the certificate of marriage. Tradi- 
tion says that Abiah Taylor, Jr., made some voyages to Virginia for 
tobacco, prior to his setdement in Pennsylvania. Deeds of lease and re-

lease, dated March 4 and 5, 1701, between John Toovey, of Henley upon 
Thames, Oxford, citizen and grocer, of London, and Abiah Taylor of Har- 
well in Berks, mercer, show that Abiah Taylor, having a reversionary inter- 
est in the estate of Joane Dew, consisting of a messuage or tenement in 
Stanford in the Vale, heretofore in the possession of Thomas Langley, and 
John Toovey, having 1250 acres of land in Pennsylvania, they made an ex- 
change. Abiah Taylor arrived here in 1702, and obtained a warrant, dated 
I, 19, 1702-3, to take up 500 acres in Chester County. Another warrant 
was granted 2, 6, 1703, for 475 acres, the remainder of Toovey's purchase 
after deducting 23 acres for "Liberty Land" in Philadelphia. He had per- 
haps sold 250 acres unlocated, or otherwise obtained a warrant for that 
amount which has not been noticed. Accompanying the second warrant 
the following letter was sent to the surveyor: 

Isaac Taylor ^ Philad'', 8'" 2 mo. i 703 

Loving ffr'" | 

The Prop" having wrote very particularly & expressly to y' ComnV" to accommodate Abiah 
Taylor w'" Land for a Settlem' we have been f vailed upon to grant him his remaining 475 
acres in f remainder of that vacancy where Tho : Buffington took up his on Brandywine, the 
Warr' for w''' pray execute with Expedition, and if there should prove more suffer none to be 
thrown out that may prove useless, but rather oblige him to take y" whole on y" same terms 
Buffington had it or else to take less than y' aforesaid quantity and leave the rest for a settlem' 
for some other. I intreat thee to press some of those who have had warrants for Land in w'" 
y'" conditions are expressed, and as thou wilt see by y' copies y" time for paym' expired, to 
dispatch with their money or we shall take y" advantage of some of them, were it but for an 
example. Thy assured fr' ]a'. Logan. 

In pursuance of the above a tract of 430 acres was laid out in what is 
now East Bradford township, through which the east branch of the Brandy- 
wine flows, from a litde above "Deborah's Rocks" to a point about a mile 
and one-eighth below. Near the upper end of this, on a pretty mound, 
Abiah Taylor erected, in 1724, a brick house which is still standing with its 
quaint narrow windows, which formerly contained lead sash and small 
panes of glass. A branch of the Brandywine, from the eastward, flows 
close by and has been known as Taylor's Run, but recently the name 
of Lady Creek has become more popular. Abiah Taylor erected a mill 
upon this as early as 1722, of which the ruins only remain. His brother 
Joseph came from England in 1708, and built a mill on Pocopson Creek 
about 1724. 

Abiah and Deborah Taylor had children: Ann, who m. Richard Barnard; 
Abiah, who died unmarried; Alice, m. to Daniel Hoopes, Jr.; Deborah, m. 
to Jonathan Parke, and Samuel. The father died about October, 1747, and

Thomas Smedle\" and L\'dia tames ileclared their intentions of marria<re 
at Goshen, 9, 20, 1749, and Amos Yarnall and Joseph [ames (of West- 
town), Phebe Hibberd and Alice Hall were appointed to mak(.' die usual 
inquir)' as to their clearness. At their second appearance, 10, 18, 1749, the 
inquirers were appointed to have the oversight of tlie marriage. In the 
women's meeting, 11, 15, 1749, those appointed to attend the marriage 
"reports not so clear as could be desired, some of the young men that were 
ofuests behavincf in an unbecomin;/ manner to one of them; which affront 
this meeting do not think propper to pass by with Impunit}', therefore laid 
y'' same before )■'' men's meeting, who have taken it under their notice." 

Morgan James, of Radnor, and Elizabeth Prytherch, ot the same town- 
ship, were married 11, i, 1694, at Radnor Meeting. No other ]ames 
signed the marriage certificate, and it is probable, according to the Welsh 
custom, that he was the son of some one whose first name was James. A 
brother, Thomas James, lived in Whiteland township but left no children. 
Elizabeth Prytherch was the daughter of Evan Prytherch (also written 
Prothero and Protherah) and Elizabeth (Thomas?) his wife. George 
Thomas, the owner of 200 acres of land in Newtown, devised the same to 
his cousin (niece?) Elizabeth, afterward wife of Morgan James. The latter 
subsequently married a 2d wife, Mary, and died in Newtown about June, 
1737, leaving children by last wife, Thomas, Aaron, Jonathan, Martha and 
Hannah James.

his father. To this he added by deed of March 14, 1768, from [ohn Mor- 
ton, sheriff, 150 acres in the same township, with grist and saw mill thereon, 
late the property of Samuel Grubb. From Joseph Potts and wife Sarah, of 
Pottstown, he obtained, Jan. 10, 1771, i 10 acres, 20 perclies more in Willis- 
town, part of 253 acres devised to said Sarah by her father, .Samuel Powel, 
of Philadelphia. 

By deed of Aug. 7, 1 784, Thomas Smedley and Lydia his wife, of Willis- 
town, conveyed to their son Joseph Smedley, of the same place a tract of 
15 acres, 94 perches, and a half interest in another tract of 17 acres, 16 
perches, with grist and saw mill, being parts of the Grubb's Mill property. 
Oct. 18, 1784, they conveyed to Caleb Maris 30 acres, 80 perches of the 
Potts tract; and on Jan. 31, 1785, to Gen. Anthon)' Wayne, the 22 acre 
patent. 

Becoming financially embarassed, Thomas .Smedley and Lydia his wife 
executed a letter of attorney, June 10, 1786, to Daniel .Smedley, Thomas 
Smedley, Jr., and Nathaniel Grubb, "to enter into & take possession of all 
and singular their Messuages, Lands, Tenements & Hereditaments, situate

George Smedley inherited from his father a fulling mill on Ridley Creek, 
together with 255 acres of land. An adjoining neighbor on the west was 
George Ashbridge, with whom he haci a controversy as to their respective 
lines. At Goshen Monthly Meeting, 7, 11, 1 766, complaint was made of 
George .Smedley lor removing a landmark, a corner of George Ashbridge's 
land, and cutting and taking a tree away. A committee appointed to 
examine into the cast; reported that he claimed the land where the tree and 
landmark stood, and the assistance of the Quarterly Meeting was invoked 
to settle the dispute. Tliis meeting appointed Peter Worrall, Samuel 
Sharpless, Abram Bonsall, John Davis, Robert Mendenhall, Samuel Os- 
borne, Daniel Byrnes, James Robinson, Fhomas Milhous and Thomas 
Lightfoot, none oi whom were members of Goshen Monthly Meeting, and 
after a hearing they decided that George .Smedley was at fault. The latter 
was unwilling to accept the decision and was disowned 12,5, 1 766. 

In the western gable of the stone house, now the residence of his great- 

' S. 
grandson, John G. Smedley, is a stone, bearing the initials and date, G. P. 

1766 

In the assessment of 1777 George Smedley appears to have held 260 
acres of land, 2 horses, 4 cattle, 6 sheep, and a fulling mill. He died intes- 
tate and letters of administration were granted Oct. 3, 1783, to Patience 
Smedley, his widow. In i 786 the property appears to have been assessed 
in the name of John Smedley, Jr., and consisted of 275 acres, 2 horses, 2 
cattle, a lulling mill and a tan-yard. 

At the Orphans' Court, Sept. 18, i 7S7, Thomas Smedley, the eldest son, 
presented a petition, representing that his father died intestate, leaving a

widow and seven children, and seizcil of a messuage, I'ulling Mill, Tanyard, 
and about 270 acres of land in Willistown, and asking for an inquisition to 
divide the property amongst the heirs, or otherwise to place a valuation 
upon it. It was therefore ordered by the Court that the sheriff should take 
twelve good men with him and go to the said messuages and lands, and 
divide or value the same. On Dec. 18, 1787, Ezekiel Leonard, sheriff, 
made return that he had taken James Gibbons, Joshua Evans, Charles Dil- 
worth, Joshua Ashbridge, Enoch Yarnall, George Davis, Nathaniel Grubb, 
Isaac Massey, Joseph Davis, Jacob Vogdes, William Garrett and Caleb 
Hibberd, who on Dec. 5th, had viewed the premises and found they could 
not be divided without prejudice to or spoiling the whole; wherefore they 
had valued the Messuage, Fulling Mill, Tanyard and 344}^ acres of land at 
the sum of ^/^I438 : 3 : 9. This report being satisfactory, it was confirmed, 
and Thomas Smedley petitioning that the property might be awarded to 
him at that valuation, it was so ordered, he giving security for the shares 
of the others, hi that day the eldest son was by law entitled to a double 
share of a parent's estate. 

We have seen that Ihomas Smedley^ by will, devised to his wife, a 
mulatto woman, Nelly, and her child; and Sarah Smedley, by will, gave 
their freedom to Nelly and her children, Hannah and Rachel. As a further 
sequel to the case, the following appears among the family papers; 

Whereas A IMspute hatli for some time ICxisted amongst the Smedleys Respecting the 
Maintainance of a Molato woman Called Nelley and the Disputants having Mutuall)' agreed 
that we the subscribers shall settle said Dispute between or amongst them, V.'e do therefore 
ajudge and award that the said Nelley shall be supported and Maintained by and flqually be- 
tween the Estates of John Smedley and George Smedley (Deceased) as long as a Certain simi

monys. Left in the hands of Tho: Brasey i8s." 

Providence Meeting is also mentioned, 3, 4, 1685. 

At a monthly meeting held at Walter Faucit's, 2, 2, 1688: "It is desired 
by the meeting that all friends belonging to this meeting bring in their 
Certificates to the next monthly meeUng; and those that have none to come 
to the said meeting and satisfy friends the reason thereof; and that these 
friends following doe publish the same at the respective meetings following, 
the first day before the next monthly meeting, viz., George Maris for 
Bartholomew Coppock's meeting, John Boweter for his meeting, Randal 
Varnon ior Chester meetinof, Thomas Minshall for his meetino." 

At a Quarterly Meeting held at Walter Faucet's, 9, 2, 1691: "Ordered 
by this meeting that from henceforth a monthly Collection be settled in 
each perticular first day's meeting, and two appointed to receive them and 
give account to the querterly meeting." 

At Chester Monthly Meeting, 10, 7, 1691: "It being agreed by the Last 
Quarterly Meeting that a monthly Collection be setded in each perticuler 
first day's meeting, w*^'' is to be upon the Last weekly first day of each 
month by order of this meeting, the persons to receive it are, for Chester, 
Randell Vernon, Caleb Pusey; and Thomas Minchall & Bartholomew 
Coppock for their meeting, and Robert Burrow, John Boweter for their 
meeting." 

First mo. 7, 169 1-2: "Ordered by this meeting y' from henceforth 
Walter ffaucet receive all y'' respective collections belonging thereto, & that 
y'^' persons y' receive it at each meeting either bring or order it into his 
hands to every monthly meeting, and y' y'' said Walter pay away none of it 
but by y*' consent of this meedng, and that an account be kept by him in 
this Book, of what he receives and what he payes, and give an account 
thereof to every monthly meeting." 

This custom, so common in other churches, of making collections in First- 
day meetings, was continued by Friends here for at least fourteen years, 
but there are probably very few of the present generation who are aware 
that it ever existed. From the accounts of Walter Faucet, treasurer, and 
his successor, Randall Vernon, we learn the amounts contributed by the 
different meetings, and it appears that in the iith month, 1692, Thomas 
Minshall's collections were six shillings, seven pence. After this date the 
receipts from "Thomas Minshall's Meeting" are regularly reported until

every first and 3'' day, and at Thomas Minchall's every first & 4"' day, and 
at John Bowater's every first and 5"' day." Third mo. 2, 1698: "Chester 
monthly meeting being called, Chester ffriends desiering the weekly meet- 
ing to be at Randcll Vernon's the second 5"^ day of each month This meet- 
ing doth alowe it. Its also agreed that th(> meeting at Thomas Minchalls 
do joyne with them that day. Its also agreed that th<- meeting at Bartholo- 
mew Coppock's on the 3'' day be on y'' 5"' day." 

Twelfth mo. 6, 1698-c): "The friends belonging to Thomas Minshall's 
meeting propose their Intention of building a meeting house at the burying 
ground by Tho : Powell's: This meeting upon Consideration thereof think 
filt to deferr tin- matter untill the next Quarterly meeting, It being tin; 
sence of this meeting that no meeting house be hereafter built upon any 
new situation without y'' advice & Consent of the Quarterly meeting." 
'•This meeting appoints Caleb Pusey, Thomas Worth, John Hood, George 
Pcirce, Nicholas Pjle & Robert Carter to meet with those ffriends belong- 
ing to Thomas JNIinchall's meeting, to view & consider of the most conven- 
ient place where to sett the above proposed meeting house." 

Third mo. 1, 1699: "According to the order & request of y"^ Last Quar- 
terly meeting The friends appointed to inspect into & consider of the most 
Conveniant place to build the meeting house, to answer that of Tho: 
Minchall's, Do make return under their hands that it is their sence that at 
the farther end of Thomas Minchall's Land, by y'' high roade side, is the 
most Conveniant place for that service & accordingly this meeting approves 
of \'' same." 

.'-^ixdi mo. 3, 1700: "Ordered that the ne.xt Quarterly meeting be held at 
the new meeting house in nether Providence." 

Ninth mo. 4, 1700: "Nether Providence ffriends request that their first 
days & week days meeting be removed from Thomas Minchall's to their 
new meeting house, which this meeting alowes off." 

Third mo. 12, 1701 : "Providence meeting requesting that whereas their 
weekly meeting being the second 5"* day of each month at Randal Vernon's, 
it may be removed to the new meeting house, which this meeting doth 
alow off." 

The first house was probably of logs. In 1723 a committee was ap- 
pointed to enlarge the building for the accommodation of the Quarterly 
Meeting, they being David Lloyd (Chief justice), John Wright, Richard 
Maris, George Maris, Henry Miller, Philip Yarnall, John Mendenhall and 
William Pennell. Perhaps this was not accomplished ver)- soon, but on 6, 



88 THE SMEDLEY FAMILY. 

29, 1726, John Wright requested to have the accounts examined, and from 
the report there appeared to be due to John Owen eight pounds, twelve 
shillings. On 11, 30, 1726-7, David Lloyd, Thomas Vernon, Samuel 
Levis, Iun^, Isaac Minshall, Peter Dicks, Daniel Williamson, Georo-e 
Smedley and Bartholomew Coppock were appointed to have a gallery 
erected for the accommodation of large gatherings. 

Eighth mo. 26, 1754: "It appearing to this meeting that this meeting 
House Is very much out of Repair, and in order to Have it Repaired it is 
agreed by said meeting That John Sharpless, Joseph Hoskins, Isaac 
Howell, William Fell, Peter Dicks, Peter Taylor, John Haycock, George 
Smedley and Nathan Yarnall be appointed to agree with Workmen to 
build y'' Old End with stone and such necessary Repairs on y'^' Inside as 
They shall Think proper, and to make Report of y"' cost and Charge when 
Done, — Providence friends agreeing To pay a Quarter part Thereof; and 
this meeting agrees to keep y"^ next monthly meeting at Chester at y'' 
usuall Time." 

At the next meeting the masons had sent in their account, which was not 
.satisfactory, but on 11, 25, 1754, it was reported settled at ^^15 : 17 : 9. 

On 8 mo. 30, 1773, it was agreed "to repair the part of the Meeting 
House where the Men Friends now hold their Monthly Meeting, during the 
summer season, to make it more suitable for Winter, as followeth : To lay 
a Floor overhead, provide a stove, set it up in the said apartment, and like- 
wise that part of the Roof over the same," &c. 

Third mo. 28, 181 4: It was propo.sed to build a meeting house at Provi- 
dence, 65 by 35 feet in size, at an estimated cost of 551500, by using the old 
materials; and on 5, 30, 1814, "It is now agreed to fix the back wall of the 
House midway on the present boundary ot the Grave Yard." Afterward 
it was concluded to have the building three feet higher than at first pro- 
posed, at the additional cost, by contract, of |,io6. The Monthly Meeting- 
was held at Middletown during the time of rebuildino- but in the new house 
again, 1, 30, 1S15, when it was reported that the work was completed ex- 
cept a small proportion of the painting. The committee reported that they 
all, except one, " met at .said house and viewed the work and united in 
directing the treasurer to pay to the undertaker, Mahlon Parsons, the 
balance due him of the sums contracted for, with the addition of three 
dollars for some extra work done by their order, which makes the whole 
amount of the expense of said house to the meeting Thirteen hundred 
eighty nine dollars. The committee also report that they united in the ex- 
pediency of providing one new stove, with new pipe, for said house, at the 



LINE OF G/iORCE', MARY'. 89 

expence of this meeting and that tiiey had endeavoured to procure one but 
without success owing to the scarcity of the kind agreed upon. The com- 
mittee are now released and IMahlon Parsons and Enos Sharpless art; 
appointed to provide the stove as agreed upon as soon as it can lie had and 
draw upon the treasurer of this meeting for the amount." 

On 5, 29, 1 81 5, it was further represented that the whole cost of the new 
meeting house, including ;h,i 2.1 2 paid to Enos Sharpless for a stove, pipe, 
&c., was $1401.12, which was paid by the meetings thus: Chester, $322; 
Springfield, 51^308.25; Providence, 5)^154.12; Middletown, $616.49. " We 
have also directed the gallery rails in the south end of said house to be 
lowered three inches, and in the north end to an equal heighth." 

Thomas Minshall and wife Margaret, Nov. 19, 1726, conveyed to Henr\- 
Miller, James Sharpies and Edward Woodward, one acre, on which the 
meeting house was located ; and their son Isaac Minshall, with Rebecca his 
wife, on the following day, conveyed to the same trustees an acre of land 
adjoining, for a burial ground. These three trustees executed a deed Nov. 
24, 1726, for the two acres, to John Camm, Peter Taylor, Peter Dicks, 
lames Sharpless, |un'., Caleb Cowpland and William Surman. In 1783 
these were all deceased, and Providence Meeting appointed Thomas 
Smedley, Roger Dicks, Ambrose Taylor and Samuel Malin " in their steads 
of & for both the said Lotts of Ground so long as they shall continue in 
Membership with our religious Society." The title to the two lots being- 
found defective, an Act of Assembly was passed March 28, 18 14, vesting 
the property in certain trustees. 

The place proposed in 1698, for building, near Thomas Powell's, was at 
what is called "Sandy Bank Graveyard," in Upper Providence, close by the 
present water reservoir of Media, the county seat of Delaware County. 
This graveyard was bought from Powell, and had he not joined in the 
Keithian schism perhaps the meeting house might have been built there. 
The earliest deed has not been found, but on i, 25, 171 7, Randall Malin 
and Peter Taylor, trustees, conveyed the ground to James Sharpies, Isaac 
Minshall, Henry Miller, Jacob Edge, Jacob Vernon and Edward Woodward. 
The last named and survivor of these is said to have executed a deed to 
new trustees, i, 7, 1748-9, but on i, 27, 1783, it was represented that the 
former trustees (of 171 7) were all deceased, and Thomas Smedley, Roger 
Dicks, Ambrose Taylor and Samuel Malin were appointed to succeed them.

George Edge died intestate, and letters of administration were granted, 
Oct. 6, 1750, to Ann Edge and Robert Pennell, with Lawrence Cox and 
William Pennell as sureties. 

RoBEKr Pennell, with Hannah, his wife, settled in Middletown township 
as early as 1686. He came from Boulderton, in Nottinghamshire, Eng- 
land, having obtained a certificate from " Friends at ffulbeck," dated 3d of 
5th mo. 1684, in conjunction with Thomas Garrett, Hugh Rodnell, Henry 
Pennell and Richard Parker, with their wives and children, intending to 
transfer themselves beyond the seas into East Jersey, in America. Of 
these Robert Pennell, Thomas Garrett and Richard Parker appear to have 
reached Chester County, and Robert Pennell was a member of the grand 
jury in September, 1686. At a court held 1st mo. 1687-8, "Robert Pennell 
was finned ^s for not appearing to be attested vpon y'^ grand Inquest." At 
the same court he was appointed constable of Middletown, an office all of 
the landholders had to serve in their turns. In 1691 he purchased 250 
acres of land in Edgmont township, and 264 acres more in 1705, on the 
north of Philip Yarnall's land and extending from the present Gradyville to 
the Willistown line. His wife died 12, 4, 171 1, aged 71 years, and he about 
1728; both active members of Middletown Meeting".

purchased, by deed of March i, 1711, from Richard Crosby, 270 acres in 
Middletown, immediately east of Glen Riddle and adjoinins;- 100 acres 
previously sold by Crosby to Robert Pennell, in 1685.

As shown in the history of Providence Mills, John Edge, Sr., purchased 
500 acres in Upper Providence, by deed of 4, 14, 1698, and by will devised 
the same to his sons, John and Jacob. Perhaps division was not made till 
after the death of Jacob, whose widow released to John Edge, Jr., 278 
acres, Nov. 25, 1721. The latter purchased, 4, 16, 1726, from Evan Lewis 
and wife 3 acres, 90 perches, and at the time of his death was possessed ot 
328 acres out of the original 500. His widow, with her 2d husband, John 
Yarnall, and eldest son, George Edge, conveyed to James Albin, 7, 22, 
1739, a messuage and 35 acres. Albin and wife, Jane, daughter of John 
Edge, conveyed this, Nov. 11, 1740, to George Morgan, whose executor, 
George Ashbridge, conveyed the same to George Edge, 8, 18, 1746. The 
other heirs of John Edge also convey to George Edge 228 acres more of 
the homestead, and the latter, at his death, appears to have held 3 1 3 acres. 
He died intestate and letters of administration on his estate were granted, 
Oct. 6, 1750, to Ann Edge, the widow, whose sureties were Lawrence Co.x 
and William Pennell. 

The original surveys of land were rather carelessly made, and, as land 
was cheap, mosdy contained very good measure. This led to a general 
resurvey of all the lands in Chester County about the year 1703. Then or 
subsequendy it was ascertained that the 500 acre tract of John Edge con- 
tained 116 acres, 20 perches of overplus land, and on the 30th March, 1763, 
George Miller and James Pennell, guardians of the children of George 
Edge, obtained a patent for this in behalf of their wards. 

Ann Edge, now of the borough of Chester, widow, and James Worrall. 
of Marple, widower, were married i, i i, 1759, at Providence Meeting. He

was the son of Peter and Elizabeth Worrall. of Marple, and was married 
5, 24, 1735, to Hannah Calvert, by whom he had several children, of whom 
Lydia married Benjamin Hoopes, son of Mary Williamson (No. 32).

Lawrence Cook (Cox?) appears as a single man in Providence township, 
1722. Lawrence Cox, as a married man, was in Edgmont township, 
1724-6; in Willistown, 1730-1746; in Upper Providence, 1 747-1 750, and 
in Willistown, 1 753-1 760. The name has been thought to have been 
originally Lawrence Cock, of a Swedish family, but his grandson, Reuben 
Yarnall, thought he was English. His first wife was named Ellen, by 
whom he had two children, Mary, b. 10, 29, 1726, m. Isaac Haines, and 
John, b. 9, 3, 1729, m. Mary Farr. 

Lawrence Cox became a member of Goshen Meeting prior to 12, 21, 
1 736-7, when he represented that meeting at the monthly meeting. In 
early times no record was made of the reception into membership of those 
who became such by convincement. Lawrence Cox received a certificate 
from Goshen, i, 12, i 73S-9, to Chester Monthly Meeting in order to marry 
Sarah Edge, and after the marriage she received a certificate to Goshen, 4, 
25. I 739- which said "She has been of a sober and Orderly behaviour & 
Pretty diligent in frequenting our Religious Meetings." One Robert Cox 
was admitted into membership at Goshen, 7, 10, 1739, who was perhaps a 
brother to Lawrence. He married Deborah Norbury, 1741, and had a son 
Lawrence and other children. 

Lawrence Cox was appointed an overseer of Goshen Meeting, 4, 18, 
1 744, in the room of Samuel Garrett. On 9, 1 7, 1 746, he received a certifi- 
cate to Chester Monthly Meeting, for self wife and children, and produced 
one thence to Goshen, dated 3, 24, 1755, for self, wife and five younger 
children, Martha, Rachel, George, Sarah and Hannah. This says of them: 



LINE or GEORGE', MAIiY\ 93 

"Some years past they came well Recommended to us by a Certificate from 
your Meeting: . . . their Lives and Conversations hath since been sober 
and Orderly, Diligent in Attending meetings and Serviceable amongst us; 
their affairs setled to satisfaction as far as appears; their Children being 
young needs little be said of them." This was signed by 22 men and 14 
women. 

By deed of Nov. 10, 1727, Lawrence Co.x purchased 106 acres of land in 
Willistown from George Garrett and wife, Ann. and 92 acres more Irom 
William Garrett and wife, Lydia, Oct. 10, 1734. Upon this land, near 
Willistown Meeting, he died, and his executors sold it, Oct. 1, 1764, to 
Francis Smedley. By his will, dated 8, 28, 1760, and proved Jan. 12, 1761, 
he directed his wife and son John to sell the plantation in order to pay 
debts and legacies: To wife, Sarah, /130: To dau. Rachel Cox, ^55 at 18:

of Oct. 2, 1686, purchased from b'rancis Howell, of Llancilio, in the county 
of Caermarthen, 200 acres of land in Pennsylvania, part of 500 acres pur- 
chased by Howell from William Jenkins, Sept. 3, 1686. David Rees, with 
Elinor his wife, settled in Newtown township, where he died in the winter 
of 1705-6. In his will he mentions his wife and two .sons, Thomas and 
Lewis Rees, between whom he divided his lands. 

Lewis Rees, of Newtown, son of David Rees, and Grace Row, dau. oi 
William Row, of Haverlord, were married at the house of David Rees, 10, 
25. 1705. Grace died (or was buried) 9, 22, 1740, and Lewis died in New- 
town, II, 10, 1775, in his 91st year. He had children: Mary, b. 7, 16,

No issue. She made acknowledgment to Chester Monthly Meeting, i, 27, 
1 738, for marriage by a " priest " and without her mother's knowledge, 
which acknowledgment was ordered to be read at a First clay meeting at 
Middletown. James Albin is believed to have been a brother to Margaret 
Hunter, wife of John Hunter, who came from Ireland and settled in New- 
town about 1722-3. He was a tailor, and by deed of Nov. 12, 1736, pur- 
chased a house and 2 1 ^ acres in that township. This he conveyed, Oct. 
14, 1740, to John Williamson. He also purchased a house and 35 acres 
of the Edge land, in Upper Providence, by deed of 7, 22, 1739, and con- 
veyed diis to George Morgan, Nov. 11, 1740. Jane Albin received a 
certificate from Chester to Goshen, 10, 31, 1739, and thence to New 
Garden, 4, 15, 1741, about which time they removed to West Marlborough. 
.She produced a certificate to Goshen, 4, 15, 1734, irom New Garden, dated 
3, 30, 1754, in which she is styled "our well Esteemed Priend," and it states 
that "her conversation hath been orderly and in unity amongst us and 
Clear from marriage Engagements as far as we know, and the few words 
that she had to dropp among us as advise or caution was well Received." 
.She was appointed, 4, 19, 1756, to join with others in visiting families, and 
was recommended as a minister, 7, 19, 1756, at which time she was a mem- 
ber of Uwchlan Meeting, residing in East Cain township. .She was married 
again, 12, 15, 1756, at Uwchlan Meeting, to Thomas Downing, as his

Richard Downing and Mary Edge declared their intentions of marriage 
at Chester Monthly Meeting, held at Providence, but it was doubtless on 
account of her being an orphan, without a home of her own, that her 
marriage was solemnized at Uwchlan, the meetinsj to which her husband 
belonged. She received a certificate from Chester to Goshen, 6, 31, 174U

after which he removed to New Providence, (now) Montgomery Co., Pa., 
where he died about 1747, leaving children, Robert, John, Thomas, Jona- 
than, and perhaps others. John came over with his grandparents Parke, in 
1723. Thomas m., Nov. 23, 1752, his cousin Rebecca Robinson, and d.

leaving children, Absalom, Jehu, John, Jonathan, Elizabeth, Mary and Lydia. 

By deed of March 8, 1 748, Robert Valentine purchased from his uncle 
Jonathan Parke two tracts of land in East Cain, containing 28 acres, 134 
perches, and 29 acres, 46 perches. This he sold, P^eb. 7, 1780, after the 
death of his wife, to John Edge. In 1764 he was assessed In East Cain 
with a house and 28 acres, beside 195 acres in Pikeland township, 2 horses, 
3 cattle, and his business as a storekeeper. He and five others refused, 
from conscientious motives, to make any return of their property, and in 
consequence had their tax doubled. 

At Uwchlan Monthly Meeting, i, 5, 1764: "The Preparative Meeting 
having had under Consideration the recommending of Robert Valentine 
and Elizabeth Brown to the quarterly Meeting of Ministers and Elders, as 
Ministers, hath proposed it to this Meeting to be considered; wherefore the 
same is desired to be under the sollicl Consideration of Friends till next 
Meeting, and Evan Jones, Joshua John, William Kirk and William Lewis 
are desired to confer with each other and with Friends on the subject and 
report their sense thereof to our Next." 

At the next meeting, 2, 9, 1764, "The Friends appointed on the Proposal 
concerning Robert Valentine and Elizabeth Brown report that they are of 
the Mind that some longer time of Consideration is necessary with regard 
to recommending Robert Valentine as proposed at our last; but that he 
ought not to be discouraged in his appearances among us; wherefore the 
matter is left under their Care at present." 

Fifth mo. 10, 1764: "the meeting appearing easy with it agrees to recom- 
mend him to the Meeting of Ministers & Elders as a young Minister." 

On 10, 8, 1772, Robert obtained a certificate in order to pay a religious 
visit to the Southern Provinces, anci having performed the visit, returned 
the certificate 4, 8, 1773. The following minutes of Uwchlan Monthly 
Meeting illustrate a feature in the ministry of Friends in that day : 

(i, 4, 1781 ;) Our Friend Robert Valentine returned a Minute of this Meeting which he 
obtained two Months ago in order to visit Fairfax Quarterly Meeting, with an Endorsement 
by that Meeting, certifying that his religious Labour was truly acceptable to them.

He also informed this >[eeting of a Concern that had attended him at times for several 
Years past, of visiting Friends in his Native Land ; and as it appears to be a Matter of Impor- 
tance we appoint Thomas Lightfoot, Robert Milhous, Evan Jones, Joshua P.aldwin, Simon 
Meredith, William Lightfoot and Isaac Jacobs to take a solid opportunity with him on the 
occasion and report their sense of the Propriety of such an undertaking, to our next, antl pre- 
pare a Certificate suitable to the occasion. 

(2, 8, 1 781 :) The Friends appointed to confer with our Friend Robert Valentine on the 
subject of his going on a religious visit to Ireland, and some part of Ivngland, report they had 
done accordingly and have prepared a Certificate, which was read here and weightily con- 
sidered ; (and tho' it appears to be a [lerillous Time we think it most safe to leave him at 
Liberty to proceed in his said Concern as Best Wisdom may direct his steps). The same was 
approved and signed on Behalf of the Meeting by a Number of P'riends. 

He did not depart at once upon his voyage, but on 5, 10, ijSr, received 
a minute to attend Salem Quarterly Meeting, N. J., and the General Meet- 
ing at Eggharbor, &c. It ma)- be explained that ministers proposing to 
visit other meetings within their own Yearly Meeting, generally received 
copies of the minutes giving them permission to do so, thus showing that 
their visits were approved of by their own meetings. 

(i, 6, 1785 :) Our Friend Robert Valentine now returned the Certificate granted him by 
this Meeting in the 2'"' Month 1781, and gives an Account of his having visited the Meetings 
of Friends in England and Ireland, pretty generally, agreeable with his Prospects at that 'I'ime, 
having experienced a Degree of heavenly support in his various services & I'^xercises therein. 
He also produced Certificates from the national half-years Meeting held in Dublin in Ireland 
in the 5th Month 1783, and from the yearly Meeting of Ministers and Elders held in London 
in the 5th & 6th Months 1784, expressing their unity with his Gospel Labours amongst them ; 
which with his safe Return is acceptable to this Meeting. 

By his will, dated 9, 26, 1779, proven Sept. 11, 1786, he devised all his 
estate to his daughters, Rachel, Phebe and Susanna, of whom the first was 
to have one-half He desired his friend Abiah Parke and son-in-law 
Abraham Sharpless to assist his two sons in settling affairs with his brother 
Jonathan Valentine. 

MIDDLETOWN MEETING. 

At a Quarterly Meeting held 3 mo. 3, 1 686 : " Agreed y' a meeting be 
kept at John Bolters upon y' same first day it used to be at Bartholomew 
Coppocks, for y*' ease of such y' live westerly in y"^ woods, and Y rest of 
friends living y*^ other way, upon y' same day, to meet at ffrancis Stanfields 
[Marple] until further consideration." 

Third mo. 4, 1696: "This meeting consents y' the meeting at Bartholo- 
mew Coppocks [Springfield] be setteled every first and 3d day and at 
L.ofC. 



lOO TBE SMEDLEY FAMILY. 

Thomas Minshalls [Providence] every first & 4th day and at John Bowaters 
[Middletown] every first & 5th day." 

Ninth mo. 6, 1699: "The ffriends of John Bowater's meeting Lay their 
Intentions of Building a meeting house. This meeting constituts & ap- 
points Philip Roman, Robert Pyle, Nathaniel Newlin, George Robinson, 
John Hood & John Wood to determine the place for that service, and make 
report to y*^^ next Quarterly meeting, under all their Hands, that it may be 
entred in this meeting Book." 

At Randall Vernon's, 12 mo. 5, 1699-700: "Whereas the friends belong- 
ing to the meeting that is kept at y'' house of John Bowaters have an 
intention to build a meeting house for the service of Truth but not wholy 
agreeing where to sett it, y'' friends concluding to Lay it before y® Quarterly 
meeting for y*^ determination thereof; accordingly it was done y'' 6"' of y" 
9'^ month 1699. And after some debate & consideration this meeting did 
nominate & constitute six friends, whose names are under written, to goe 
up to y*' house of John Bowater, there to meet friends concerned in the 
business afore mentioned, and to hear & determine the same, and to make 
returne thereof to the next Quarterly meeting: and now we haveing heard 
& seriously considered to y'' best of our understanding, for y" service above 
mentioned, doth give our sence & judgment as followeth, — That ffriends 
belonging to the said meeting shall build a meeting house, for the service 
of ffriends and Truth, upon the Land or Lott belonging to y^ said meeting's 
Burying place. Given under our hands y*^^ 20"^ of y*^ 9"^ mo"' 1699. 

"Philip Roman Nathaniel Newlin

In the treasurer's account of collections received this is called "Bowater's 
Meeting" imtil 5 mo. 2,7, 1702, when the name of Middletown is substi- 
tuted, and it is likely the house was then completed. A survey of the land 
belonging thereto, made by Isaac Taylor 4 mo. 10, 1700, represents that it 
contained five acres, in the form of a square, bounded by land of John 
Bowater on one side, of Joseph Baker on another, and of John Turner on 
the other sides. The last named had purchased from Joshua Hastings, for 
whom 472 acres had been surveyed by warrant of Jan. 16, 1684. 

The first building was doubtless of wood, to which an addition of stone 
,vas afterward placed at the southeast end. In 1770 subscriptions were 
made to the amount of ^^215, to put up a stone addition in place of the 
wooden part.

This attempt not being successful, another subscription was entered into 
in 1773, and the work finally accomplished. In 1783 the sum of /106 was 
raised in the same way to build a school house upon the lot. 

At a monthly meeting held 2 mo. 24, 1 783, " Middletown Preparative 
Meeting informs that the friends who had the care of the Lott of Ground 
whereon their Meeting House stands are all Deceased, and they have ap- 
pointed William Yarnall, Jacob Minshall, John Hill & Thomas Evans, 
Trustees, for the said Lot of Ground in their stead." 

Si.xth mo. 24, 1822: "Middletown Prejjarative meeting informs that they 
have obtained a Deed from the Heirs at Law of Joshua Hastings, the orig- 
inal Proprietor (under William Penn) of their meeting-house Ground, who 
put them in possession thereof about the year 1690; confirming and con- 
veying the same unto Enos Painter, James Emlen, Peter Worrell, William 
Yarnall, George Smedley, Joseph Pennell & Samuel Hibberd, In Trust for

monthly meeting book case." 

In the fifty years, commencing with 1 787, there were over nine lumdred 
interments in the graveyard belonging to this meeting. 

At the time of the unfortunate division in the Society of Friends, in 1827, 
those called "Orthodox," being in the minority, held their meetings for a 
time at a different hour, but in the 5th month 1828 wididrew to a house

belonging to James Emlen, a short distance westward of the old meeting 
house. In 1834 Joseph Pennell donated a lot to the southward, containing 
half an acre, upon which a meeting house was erected the following year. 
He subsequently gave an additional half acre for school and burial pur- 
poses. A school house was erected close by the meeting house, in which a 
school is maintained under the care of the meeting. 

About i860 Thomas Pratt, the owner of the land between the two meet- 
ing houses, founded Cumberland Cemetery thereon, which is a popular 
place of interment for the neighborhood.

Thomas Nokbury, late purchaser of 125 acres of land, obtained a war- 
rant, 9, 21, 1683, to take it up between Crum and Darby Creeks. This 
land was located in Newtown township. About a year later he married 
Frances, widow of Stephen Hugh, who, by her first husband, had a daugh- 
ter, Martha Hugh, b. 3, 11, 1684. Stephen Hugh, of Springfield, d. 11, 21, 
1683. When Thomas Norbury and Frances Hugh declared their inten- 
tions of marriage the 2d time, 12, 2, 1684, "The said Thomas Norbery doth 
hereby Ingage himselfe to y* meeting to Endeaver to bring up y" child of 
y*^ s'' ffrances Hugh as his owne in y*^ feare of God & accord: to y'' ord'' &

Its fathers name) untill y*" child come to the Age of sixteene yeares to

The 50 acres taken up in right of Stephen Hugh was doubdess " head 
land," on account of his coming to this country as a servant, and it was 
located with the 125 acres of Thomas Norbury. The latter appears to 
have been rather unsuccessful in his struggles for a livelihood, and in need 
of some assistance from his friends. At Chester Monthly Meeting, 8, 2, 
1693, "The friends appointed by die Last meeting to goe to vieu the Land 
Thomas Narbery dwels on, gives their Judgment that it is better for him to 
staye there then to remove, and with Less Charge to friends. And the

sowing his field." A resurvey of his land, made 5, 31, 1702, proved there 
were 200 acres in the two tracts. His need of assistance is pardy ex- 
plained by the fact that ten children were born to him by the close of 1701, 
their names being Stephen, Jacob, Deborah, Thomas, John, Philip, Mary, 
Hannah, Sarah and Rachel.

By deed of 8, 2, 1749, George Smedley, of Middletown, and Marj' his 
wife, conveyed to their son George 147 acres of land in Willistown, part of 
250 acres purchased from Thomas Smedley and wife. The son received a 
certificate from Chester to Goshen Monthly Meeting, dated 2, 29, 1745. 
His will is dated 8, 21, 1765, and proven Dec. 24, 1765, in which, after pro- 
viding for his wife, he devised ^50 to dau. Hannah, at iS; to eldest son,

Woodward, of Newtown, and, having survived him, died at the residence 
of her daughter, Elizabeth Smedley, in 1784, aged nearly 94 years, being 
born 9, 1 6, 1 690. 

Children of Peter and Elizabeth Taylor : 

MoRDECAi, b. 12, 7, 1713 ; d. 1747 ; m. Esther Sharpies, 3, 18, 1738. 

Nathan, b. i, 29, 1715 ; d. 1801 ; ni. Ruth Evans, 9, 5, 1746. 

Sarah, b. 12, 2, 171S; in. 7, 19, 1739, John Heacock.

of whom Mary m. Ambrose Smedley. 

John, b. ; d. . 

Joseph, b. ; d. . 



Elizabeth, b. 1731 ; d. 2, 22, 1789 ; m. William Smedley. 

William Smedley was apprenticed to John Taylor to learn the "art, trade 
or mystery" of a carpenter, from the 25th of ist mo., 1748, for the term 
of three years. His account book, still preserved, shows that in addition to 
ordinary carpenter's work he made coffins, bedsteads and cases of drawers. 
The charge for a coffin varied from 10 shillings, for a child, to £2 : 3.5-, for 
an adult, with six handles. Joseph Edwards was Dr., "1759, 1st month 
24th, to makeing of a Black Walnut Coffin for his mother, with two handles, 
^i : I'^s." " 1759, 4 month 12th Day, James Wilcox Dr. to a Black walnut 
Coffin for his Child, 10.?." In that day carpenters made the shingles they 
used, and he charged 3,s- 6d per hundred for making 350 at the meeting- 
house yard. 

By deed of Oct. 13, 1753, George and Mary Smedley conveyed to their 
son William three tracts of land in Middletown, containing respectively 60 
acres, 6 acres and 2 acres. In addition to these the latter purchased 146 
acres from James and Mary Bennett, May 16, 1759; and from Joseph and 
Hannah Edwards 63^ acres, by deed of Oct. 21, 1765. Besides his other 
duties, his account book shows that he served in the office of constable. 
He died in his 38th year intestate, and letters of administration on his 
estate were granted May 14, 1766, to his widow. She appears to have 
carried on the farming and brought up her children in ways of useiulness, 
giving them such education as the neighborhood afforded, and they became 
worthy members of their meeting. Her sons, Joseph and Samuel, who 
died in early manhood, were appointed, i, 25, 1790, to record the minutes 
of Chester Monthly Meeting.

paying part of a fine for not bearing arms, and also part of a tax for the 
support of war. He was appointed, i, 27, 1783, one of the trustees of 
Providence Meeting and graveyards, and on 12, 28, 1789, to have the over- 
sight of burials, with Samuel Malin. He was appointed overseer of Provi- 
dence Meeting, 2, 22, 1790, in place of Roger Dicks, and, being deceased, 
was succeeded by Richard Nuzum,- 5, 30, 1791. 

His father devised to him a piece of land in Middletown, on the soudi 
side of "the great road," and half the lot in Philadelphia, together with 
/'loo. His brothers James and Ambrose were each to pay him /50 when 
they came into possession of their lands, and in case of James's death in his 
minority the 98 acres of land in Upper Providence devised to him, should 
pass to Thomas. This did happen and Thomas setded upon the land in 
Upper Providence. March 25, 1774, Thomas Smedley, of Upper Provi- 
dence, carpenter, conveyed to Joseph Moore, of the city of Philadelphia, 
cordwainer, his undivided half interest in the city lot, for £20. I'^lizabeth 
Smedley, widow of Thomas, and her surviving children, entered into an 
agreement with Leavin Cornish, 6, 24, 181 5, to convey to him a piece of 
land in Middletown, formerly belonging to Thomas Smedley, deceased.

NEWTOWN MEETING. 

In the settlement of Chester county the English Friends gradually ex- 
tended their lines backward from the Delaware, while the Welsh, taking the 
Schuylkill above Philadelphia as a base, pushed westward, somewhat

obliquely across the pathway of the others. They had a large tract of 40,- 
000 acres laid out for their use, known as the "Welsh Tract," of which 
some of the lines remain, including Lower Merion, Tredyffrin, the White- 
lands and Goshens, but the coalescing of the two streams obliterated the 
south line of their proposed barony. The townships of Haverford and 
Radnor were quickly occupied by the Welsh, who were constituents 
of Philadelphia Quarterly Meeting. 

At Haverford Monthly Meeting, 11, 14, 1696: "William Lewis and some 
other friends having proposed to this meeting to settle a meeting at New- 
town, they are left to their freedom therein." Afterwards Thomas Jones 
was ordered "to acquaint friends of Chester Meeting that the meeting 
lately settled at Newton is done w"' y'' consent of this meeting, in order to 
have their approbation therein." 

At Chester Quarterly Meeting, 3, 12, 1701: "This meeting being dis- 
satisfyed that a meeting is sett up at Newtowne without the approbation 
of this Quarteyly meeting, the meeting therefore orders John Blunston tv 
Walter ffaucet to go to Haverford months meeting and request that the said 
meeting be not Continued without the approbation of this O''*' meeting." 

Si.xth mo. 4, 1 701 : "The two friends appointed by the last Q''"^' meeting 
to attend the months meeting of Haverford make report that they would 
acquaint their Quarterly meeting with it, upon which this meeting orders 
John Blunston & Caleb Pusey to meet the friends of Haverford at their 
O''*'*' meeting, and if satisfaction be not there given to the s'' friends that 
then application be made to the yearly meeting." 

Ninth mo. 3, 1701 : "The two ffriends appointed to attend the Q''"'' meet- 
ing at Philadelphia about the meeting at New-towne make report that 
satisfaction was not then given, but was reffered to the Yearly meeting, the 
account whereof we have not yet received." 

Third mo. 4, 1702: "By the minutes of tlie last Yearly meeting sent to 
this meeting we finde among other things that they have determined the 
business of Newtowne Meeting;- &c. in these words followine: 

"It being lay'd before this meeting by y'" members of Chester County 
that y"' Welch friends belonging to Philadelphia Q''"*' meeting haveing sett 
up a meeting at Newtown which they say ought to belong to Chester 
Quarterly meeting: After the matter being debated it was thought fitt to 
continue y'= s*' meeting as they are & y' those friends may have their 
Liberty to belong to Philadelphia Quarterly Meeting, but y^ for the future 
y"^ said Welch friends may set up no meeting further w"'in the .said county 
of Chester without y'' approbation of y'' said meeting." 



Il6 THE SMEDLEY FAMILY. 

With the idea that there should be a quarterly meeting for each county, 
Chester Quarterly Meeting had already urged the Friends of Haverford 
and Radnor to join with them, but these preferred to belong to Philadelphia 
Quarterly Meeting. 

At Chester Monthly Meeting, i, 25, 1706: "William Lewis of Newtown 
appeared att this meeting with Daniel Williamson, signifying in the behalfe 
of their meeting their desier of being joyned to our monthly and quarterly 
meeting: Ordered that Caleb Pusey and Joseph Baker do attend their next 
monthly meeting to signifie our willingness if they consent to it." Second 
mo. 29, 1706: "Caleb Pusey and Joseph Baker makes Report to this meet- 
ing that they have been att Haverford monthly meeting According to the 
order of the Last Monthly Meeting to show our Willingness & to know 
theirs in Joyning friends of Newtowne meeting to our monthly and Quar- 
terly Meeting and that the friends of Haverford Refers it to farther 
consideration." 

At Chester Quarterly Meeting, 6, 5, 1706: "Agreed between Philadel- 
phia Q'''' Meeting & this that Newtowne friends shall for the future belong 
to Chester Monthly Meeting and to this O"^ Meeting." 

At Mo. Mtg., 6, 26, 1706: "This meeting Received a Generall Certificate 
from Mirion monthly meeting Recomending to the Care of our Monthly 
Meeting Those Particulars following, — William Lewis, Sen'', Lewis Lewis, 
Evan Lewis, William Lewis, Rice Howell, William Bevan, William Thomas 
as members of Newtown meeting, with Recomendation for Peter Thomas." 

Fifth mo. 28, 1707: "Newtown meeting desireth that their meeting now 
kept att Lewis Lewis'* may be held att Evan Lewis" which this meeting 
agrees to and that the friends appointed to attend the Quarterly meeting 
move itt there for their approbation." 

Eighth mo. 30, 1 7 10: "Newtown meeting Laid before this meeting their 
Intentions of building a meeting house by friends burial yard in Newtown 
which this meetting approves of and Requests the approbation of the 
Quarterly meeting." 

P3ighth mo. 29, 171 i: "They also signifie that their meeting house is 
neare finished and Desire that their meeting may be Removed from Evan 
Lewis's to the meeting house which this meeting approves of, and in order 
thereunto this meeting think fitt to lay it before the Quarterly meeting for 
their approbation."

The foregoing will was proven Oct. lo, 1795, by the first two witnesses, 
the other being absent. Letters testamentary were not granted till June 
23, 1796, and the will was filed but not recorded. The inventory amounted 
to ^782 : 14 : 2^, and the executors filed accounts Oct. 20, 1796, showing 
a balance of ^153 •" 13 : 7 '4 after paying debts and legacies. 

33. Sarah Williamson' (Sarah^ George), b. 5, 28, 1718; d. : 

m. about 1739, Thomas Calvert, of Upper Providence. The following 
are supposed, from various circumstances, to have been their children: 

159. Joshua, disowned by Chester Mo. Mtg., 4, 27, 1761 ; of Edgmont township, 1760, 

and West Cain, 1762-3. 

160. Rebecca, received a certificate to Philadelphia, 11, 29, 1762. 

161. John, "son of Thomas," m. about 1763, Jane, widow of Joseph Mercer and dau. of 

Edward and Sarah Swayne, and was disowned 2, 27, 1764. 

162. Daniel, "son of Thomas," disowned ir, 25, 1765, for neglecting the attendance of 

meetings and leaving the parts. 

163. Isaac, "son of Thomas," disowned 11, 27, 1769, for marriage by a priest.

and Sarah Calvert, gives to brother William Calvert a mare and colt and all 
wearing apparel except a hat to bro. Isaac's son Robert. Money to brothers 
and sisters. Bro. William to pay debts, collect money, &c. 

165. William, m. Jean Craig, Nov. 23, 1775. 

166. Deborah, disowned 6, 28, 1779. 

William Penn granted, i, 13, 1683, to Thomas Calvert, 300 acres; to 
John Calvert, 300 acres, and to Margaret Calvert, 100 acres, all laid out 
together in Upper Providence, i, 25, 1683. On 2, 11, 1691, it was ordered 
that a patent for the whole should be made to John Calvert, to whom it was 
made appear to belong. Perhaps the others were his children. At Chester 
Monthly Meeting, 4, 6, 1687, mention is made of a difference between 
Thomas Hollingsworth and John Calvert, about dividing their lands in 
Upper Providence. Valentine Hollingsworth, father of Thomas, had mar- 
ried for second wife, Ann Calvert, and John Calvert was probably a 
brother. There was a presumption of relationship in that day to Lord 
Baltimore, the Proprietor of Maryland. The children of John and Judith 
Calvert, born in this country, were Daniel, b. 5, 6, 1685, who m. about 1709, 
Elizabeth Pritchett; and Mary, b. 12, 19, 1687. Judith, another daughter, 
m. 10, 8, 1725, Daniel Broom, of Marple. Ruth Calvert, who m. about 
1697, Edward Paviour, of Upper Providence, was probably an older child. 

At a court held 6, 25, 1702, the sheriff made return of an execution on 
the estate of John Calvert, which was sold to Thomas and Joshua Calvert 
for ^243. These were probably sons of John. Joshua was constable of 
Upper Providence in 1704. Thomas bought a lot in Chester in 1700, and 
sold it in 1702. After this the land in Upper Providence appears to have 
been held by Joshua and Daniel Calvert, of whom the first had 370 acres 
in 1724. It seems, however, to have been patented Feb. 6, 1739, to John 
Worrall (6o8i^< acres), who, with Ruth his wife, conveyed a part to Daniel 
Calvert. 

Joshua Calvert, m. 1709, Deborah Harlan, dau. of George and Elizabeth 
Harlan, and it is conjectured that they were the parents of Thomas Calvert, 
the husband of Sarah Williamson. The latter presented an acknowledg- 
ment to Goshen Monthly Meeting, 6, 20, 1739, for marriage by a magis- 
trate, and on 8, 16, 1756, received a certificate from Goshen to Chester 
Monthly Meeting, with her children, who are not named. They appear to 
have lived after this in Edgmont, and perhaps he is the same Thomas Cal- 
vert who was in East Marlborough, 1762-3-4, and perhaps later. He does 
not appear to have been in membership with Friends, and when or where 
he and his wife died has not been discovered.

Penn, to the amount of 150 acres. In 1678 she suffered persecution in the 
distraint of her goods for attending Friends' meetings at Newton and Selsby. 
Her land was surveyed in Springfield township, Nov. 10, 1682, and patented 
to her 2, 10, 1685. The family is said to have occupied a cave for some

David Regester purchased 200 acres of land in Edgmont from Robert 
Barber, of Chester, attorney for George Deacon and Daniel Leeds, of New 
Jersey, by deed of 7, 16, 1699. The court records show that Robert 
Barber, as attorney for John Williamson, executed a deed to him about the 
same time for 200 acres more in Edgmont. John Hoskins, sheriff, acknowl- 
edged a deed to him for 210 acres, dated April 26, 1702. This was in the 
eastern part of the township. John Broomall and wife Ann, and Mary 
Broomall, widow of John Broomall, Sr., conveyed to David Regester a 
messuage and 100 acres in Nether Providence, by lease and release, June 9 
and 10, 1731 ; and David Regester and wife Lydia conveyed the same, 
March 8 and 9, 1733-4, to William Gorsuch. George James, of Spring- 
field, in his will, 1720, mentions his kinsman, David Regester, as one of his 
executors. The will of David Regester, of Edgmont, is dated Jan. 13, 1750, 
and proven April 24, 1751. His wife was probably then deceased.

So far as discovered, all of the descendants of this family, bearing the

LINE OF GEORGE', SARAH'. 129 

"The ship Delaware From Bristol in old England, John Moore Com- 
mander, arrived here the 11"' of the 5 month 1686." Among the passen- 
gers were — 

"Thomas Greene, husbandman and Margaret his wife: 

"Thomas and John their sons: 

"Mary Guest his servant for 7 years to come from the third day of May 
1686: 

"Richard Moore, Brickmaker, & Mary his wife and children Mary and 
John: 

"Sarah Searle his servant for 4 years to come from the 3'^'' of May 1686; 

"Henry Guest, sawyer, and Mary his wife & Henry his sone." 

The wife of Richard Moore was the daughter of Thomas and Martjarct 
Green. There is some reason to suppose that these persons came from the 
neighborhood of Birmingham, England. Thomas Green, Sr., purchased 
400 acres of land in Concord and gave 200 acres at the east end to his son 
Thomas, and the other to his son John. The latter, by will dated Dec. 14, 
1 69 1, gave all his estate to his mother, Margaret Green, whom he appointed 
e.xecutrix. Her will is dated 7, 7, 1708, proven Oct. 6, 1708, in which she 
mentions sons Robert and Thomas Green, and grandson Henry Green; 
also cousin Henry Guest and other relatives. 

Thomas Green, Jr., married Sarah (?) — possibly Sarah Searle, as 

such matches between fellow passengers were not uncommon. His will is 
dated Feb. 17, 171 2, and proven Aug. 10, 1713, of which he appointed his 
wife executrix; also gives to his son John a mare colt as soon as it could be 
taken up: To the rest of children, Robert, Henry, Edward, Samuel, Abel, 
Margaret and Sarah, each a mare colt. To son Thomas a mare which runs 
about Elk river.

Meeting, Rachel Vernon, dau. of John and Sarah (Pyle) Vernon. .She d. 
2, 17, 1 75 1, and he 3, 20, 1779, in his Ssth year. They lived in Birming- 
ham and had fourteen children, of whom Rebecca married John Regester. 

It is assumed that Abel Green, son of Thomas and Sarah, was the Abel 
Green who married Jane Regester, widow. If he were the youngest child 
his age must have been at least 42 years when the marriage took place. 
However, there seems to have been but one Abel among the taxables at 
that time. By deeds of Dec. 28 and 29, 1735, he purchased 276^ acres of 
land in Thornburj' township, part of 500 acres formerly of William Bostock. 
Of this he sold 100 acres to Stephen Ogden, Jan. 30, 1735-6. From 
Thomas Williamson and wife Ann he obtained 109 acres, 115 perches in

John Buckley, Jr., of Melksham, in the county of Wilts, England, pur- 
chased from William Penn 250 acres of lantl in Pennsylvania, by deeds 
of lease and release, dated Sept. 5 and 6, i6cSi. This land was surveyed 
Nov. 8, 1684, in Birmingham township, and included the present Brandy- 
wine Summit Station. P. W. & B. R. R. John Buckley probably arrived in 
1682, but did not settle on this land, making his residence instead on the 
Delaware River and Naaman's Creek, in Brandywine hundred, where he 
took up 100 acres by a warrant dated 4, 30, 1683. To this he ijave the 
name of "Trouble Field," as returned by the surveyor. He subsecjuently 
obtained additional lands at this place. Tradition says that he returned to 
England and married Hannah Sanderson, dau. of Dr. Sanderson, of Ferry 
Bridge, Yorkshire; also that his mother was Mary Empson. It is certain 
that his neighbor, Cornelius Empson, came from Yorkshire ; that one of his 
wives was Mary(?) Sanderson, and that in 1689 he married her sister Eliza- 
beth Sanderson. John Buckley died Nov. 27, 1732, leavino- children, 
Rachel, m. John Grubb, Jr.; Hannah, m. Thomas Clayton; Sarah and Adam.

Adam Buckley, Sr., was buried in the Grubb Family burial ground, near 
Carpenter's Station, Brandywine Hundred. His will was dated Aug. 23, 
1732, but both it and the book in which it was recorded have been lost. 

John Williamson inherited the homestead, subject to the use of his mother 
during her widowhood and to the payment of an annuity to his brother 
Daniel, during life. In 1764 he was assessed with 180 acres and buildings, 
20 acres of woodland, 7 horses, 9 cattle, 10 sheep, i negro and two- thirds 
of a saw-mill. At the same time his mother was taxed for 90 acres and 
buildings, 10 acres of woodland and one horse. In 1786 he had 150 acres 
and saw-mill, while John Williamson, Jr., had 90 acres. 

At Goshen Monthly Meeting, 6, 5, 1761, Newtown Meeting informs that

THE SMEDLEY FAMILY. 



John Williamson, as executor of his father-in-law, has been concerned in 
selling one or more Negroes for Term of Life; and he appearing here 
apprehends himself clear of blame. Amos Yarnall, Aaron Ashbridge, 
Daniel Brown, Tho" Milhous, Tho' Massey and Isaac Thomas are appointed 
to hear his reasons and report how the case appears. At the next meet- 
ing, 7, lo, I 761, they reported him faulty in not asking ffriends' advice be- 
fore proceeding, and Thomas Lightfoot, John Milhous and Thomas Downing 
were appointed to labor further with him. On 8, 7, 1761, the case was 
continued in care of Thomas Goodwin and Richard Jones, and on 9, 11, 
1 76 1, Nathan Lewis, Isaac Thomas and Thomas Massey were requested to 
visit him. At length, 12, 11, 1761, he appeared and made a verbal 
acknowledgment, but that not being sufficient he produced one at the next 
meeting in writing, and this was accepted. On 4, 9, 1779, he was com- 
plained of for paying his son's substitute fine, for which his acknowledgment 
was accepted 11, 5, 1779. He does not appear to have incurred any 
further censure from his fellow members on account of his conduct. 

By deed of Sept. 15, 1772, he and Elizabeth his wife conveyed to Richard 
Dutton, of Upper Chichester, 8 acres of marsh land, in Lower Chichester, 
which Adam Buckley had devised to her. 

The will of John Williamson, of Newtown, is dated 8, 13, 1794, and 
proven Dec. 2, i 794. To wife, Elizabeth, part of the land devised to me 
by my father and of that purchased of Henry Caldwell's heirs, about 85 
acres, she paying one-half of /200 which my father directed to be paid at

His will is dated 12, 13, 1756, and proven Jan. 20, 1757, by which he 
devised to his sister Jane Woodward the said plantation, on which he then 
lived: Also mentions his mother-in-law (step-mother), Elizabeth Woodward,

At Goshen Monthly Meeting, 3, 20, 1758: Francis Yarnall was appointed 
to assist women Friends in drawing a testimony against Jane Woodward 
for marriage by a priest to her first cousin, but at the next meeting she 
offered an acknowledgment, which was left under consideration. Two 
months later her acknowledgment was accepted, and Lewis Recce was 
appointed to read it in a First-day meeting at Newtown, according to the 
custom of that day. 

Nathaniel Newlin received a certificate from Concord Monthly Meeting, 
9, 4, 1751, to Bradford, and resided in the township of Newlin, so named for 
his grandfather, but returned to Concord about 1754, without changing his 
membership. He made acknowledgment to Bradford Mo. Mtg., 3, 16, 
1758, for his marriage by a priest to his first cousin, and on 12, 21, 1759. 
obtained a certificate to Goshen. He doubdess settled on the land of his

wife, in Newtown. In 1777 he was assessed with 175 acres of land, i 
horse, 2 cows and 2 sheep. He does not appear in 1786 and was probably 
deceased. His widow was living in 1810, when she conveyed about 30 
acres of land to her son-in-law, Joseph Fawkes. She died intestate, but no 
letters of administration appear to have been granted, and her daughter 
succeeded to the estate. 

GOSHEN MEETING. 

At Chester Quarterly Meeting, 12, 2, 1701 : "Some ffriends dwelling at 
Goshen makeing application to this meeting for to have a meeting for wor- 
ship setteled amongst them. This meeting Considering thereof thinks fitt to 
refer it to the next O"'^' meeting it being the first proposal of it & by reason 
of a great flood but few friends appeared." 

3, 4, 1702: "The friends dwelling at Goshen Continuing their application 
to this meeting that they may have a meeting of worship setteled amongst 
them, This meeting taking the matter into Consideration thinks fitt that 
they may have a meeting every other first day there at y'' house of Griffith 
Owen, the first meeting to be y^ next first day, and this meeting orders 
them to belong to Chester months meeting." 

6, 2, I 703 : Goshen Friends requested liberty from the Quarterly Meet- 
ing to make some change in their meeting, but were advised first to agree 
among themselves and then lay it before Chester Monthly Meeting. 

At Chester Mo. Mtg., 6, 30, 1703: " Att the request of freinds from 
goshen this meeting doos agree and appoint y' there be a meeting of Wor- 
ship the Last first day of the tenth month & first, fourth and seventh months

to all which their s'^ months meeting did acquiesce with, which this Quar- 
terly meeting after a due Consideration thereof do also approve off until

G OSITEN MEE TING. I 3 5 

At Chester Mo. Mtg., 1, 27, 1704: "Ellis David and Cadwalader Kllis 
Informed this meeting that David Jones belonging to Goshen meeting some 
time since did unhappily Conive or Give way to his servant to work in his 
Team some of his neighbours Creatures without their Consent, and desired 
the advice of this meeting Conserning this matter, and this meeting having 
Considered the saime Concludeth thereupon, first, that the meeting now

condemn the s'' action by a paper under his hand to bee brought to the 
next monthly meeting, and Lasdy, that hee make Reasonable satisfaction to 
the owners of the s'' Creatures." 

At Oly. Mtg., 3, I, 1704: "Chester Months Meeting being called, 
Bartholomew Coppock, Randall Vernon & Caleb Pusey appeared & In- 
formed this meeting that it was the sence of their monthly meeting, for 
some reasons now offered, that the first days meeting formerly ordered to 
be kept at David Jones's house in y^ great valley near Goshen should be 
kept for the future at the house of Robert Williams as formerly untill 
further order; which this meeting doth acquiesce with." 

At Mo. Mtg., 9, 25, 1706: "Goshan meeting Proposeth to this meeting 
the Building a meeting house and grave yard near Edgmont Road: it is 
Left to the Consideration of the next monthly meeting." 

8, 27, 1707; "Friends of Goshen meeting Lay'' before this meeting their 
Intention of Building a meeting-house near Robert Williams by the buriall 
Ground, which this meeting hath nothing to object against. But orders 
friends appointed to attend y" Quarterly meeting do move itt there for their 
Concurrence, and they further Desire that their meeting may be kept once 
in a month att White Land, which this meeUng assents to, and that itt bee 
Lay^ before the Quarterly meeting accordingly." 

The subject was continued under consideration for some time, but the 
Quarterly Meeting decided, 12,2, 1 707, that the meeting-house should be 
built at the burial ground near Robert Williams', and that a meeting for 
worship should be held once in six weeks at the house of James Thomas, in 
the Great Valley, beginning in the month following. The new meeting- 
house was ready for occupancy 8, 31, 1709, and permission given for the 
meeting then held at Robert Williams' to be removed thereto, and held on 
the First and Sixth days of the week. 

At Chester Mo. Mtg., 5, 30, 1716: "The Representatives of Goshen 
meedng Requests that the six weeks meetting kept att James Thomas be 
laid aside att present and setled att Goshen and Youghland untill further

order, which this meeting thinks well of and Requests the approbation of 
the Quarterly meeting." This was approved by the Quarterly Meeting in 
the followinp- month. 

James Thomas, at whose house the valley meeting was held, was a 
nephew of David Jones. He lived in what is now East Whiteland, but the 
meeting so held had no connection with the Whiteland Meeting established 
in 1816. In 1736 a new house was erected at Goshen which remained for 
more than a century, when it was supplanted by another on the same site. 
Among the early members of this meeting were Robert Williams, Ellis 
David, Cadwalader Ellis, David Jones, James Thomas, Thomas Garrett,- 
William Garrett, George Ashbridge, John Cadwalader, Edward Kinnison, 
Isaac Malin, David Davis, John Haines, Isaac Haines.

144 ^-^^ SMEDLEY FAMILY. 

Yorkshire, England, 8, 24, 1679, came to Pennsylvania in 1699, bringing a 
certificate from Settle Monthly Meeting, dated 1,1, 1698-9, and signed by 
twenty Friends, certifying that he was "clear from any engagements or en- 
tanglements with any person on the account of marriage, so that so far as 
we know if he hereafter be concerned in order to marry, this may certifie 
our friends that may be therein concerned accordingly that as he hath been 
of a pretty good behavior since the time that he hath frequented our meet- 
ings, so his removing is with ours as also with his father's consent and 
approbation," &c. After his arrival he worked as a laborer until he had 
laid up about /400. Half of this he ventured on a trading voyage to 
Tortola, in the West Indies, but his shipment was lost at sea and upon his 
arrival there by another vessel he was taken sick and narrowly escaped 
with his life. Returning to Pennsylvania he resumed work as a laborer, 
and after a time purchased 500 acres of land in Warminster township, to 
which he made additions by subsequent purchases, and at the time of his 
death left an estate of more than 1000 acres beside money at interest. He

he had children, Sarah, John, Daniel, Jane, Jane 2d, Ann, John 2d, Eliz- 
abeth, Isaac, Joseph and Benjamin. He died suddenly, without previous 
illness, 6, 8, 1749, and was buried at Horsham Meeting. His widow m. 6, 7, 
1753, Robert Tomkins, of Warrington township, Bucks County, but after- 
wards removed to Chester County (now Phcenixville), where her daughters 
Jane and Ann Coates resided. 

John Longstreth produced a certificate from Abington to Goshen Monthly 
Meeting, 4, 1 1, 1760, but returned the following year. In 1763 he produced 
a certificate from Abington to Uwchlan Mo. Mtg., dated 11 mo. 1762, and 
on 4, 5, 1764, declared intentions of marriage with Rebekah Taylor, dau. of 
Peter Taylor, deceased. Her death from small-pox just a month later pre- 
vented their marriage. On 8, 26, 1765, he and Jane Minshall declared their 
intentions of marriage before Chester Monthly Meeting, but some obstruc- 
tion appearing likely to delay their procedure, they accomplished their 
marriage as indicated by the following certificate, now in possession of 
Sarah L. and Mary Jane Jones, of Kernstown, Va.: 

These are to certify to all whom it may concern that John Longstreth, of the township of 
Charlestown, in the County of Chester, having signified to me, Isaac Davis, one of the Justices 
for the said County, his intention of marriage to Jane Minshall, of the township of Middletown, 
in the County aforesaid, and having obtained a paper of publication from under the hand of 
said Isaac Davis, signifying their said intention, bearing date one month before these presents 
and no person having made any objections : Now know ye that the said John Longstreth and 
Jane Minshall personally appeared at my house in Tredyffryn, in the midst of a public Com-

came to Pennsylvania, in 171 2, and settled in New Garden township. In 
1 7 14 he was chosen clerk of Newark Monthly Meeting and overseer of 
New Garden Meeting. Upon the establishment of the latter as a monthly 
meeting he served as clerk from 17 18 to 1726; was appointed an elder in 
1727, and in 1731 removed with his family to Charlestown township, at the

of Phcenixville were at first members of Gwynedd, but James Starr does not 
appear among the taxables in Charlestown, 1774 or 1777. In 1792 he re- 
moved with his family to Middletown, Delaware County, where he and his

Abiah Taylor inherited a mill and about 98 acres of land in E. Bradford. 
To this he added 99 acres by purchase from Mary Empson, by deed of 
April 9, 1 761. This lay on the north side of what is known as the Stras- 
burg Road and on the east side of the Brandywine. On this tract, close by 
the road, and not far from die mill, he erected a substantial stone house, 
which is still standing and bears the initials of himself and wife, with the 
date, 1768. His sons, Samuel and Abiah, added to the estate by the pur- 
chase, in 1797, of the brick house built by their great-grandfather, together 
with 76 acres of the original tract. In the years 1 795-1 801, Abiah Taylor 
was elected to the Assembly, which then met at Lancaster, Pa., and his 
death occurred at that place during a session of the legislature. His 
nephew, Samuel Taylor, made the following notes in his diary: 

12, 3, 1801 : This afternoon tidings was brought us that .'^biah Taylor was dead at Lancaster. 

12, 4 : This morning I went in Company with several others to meet the Corpse of .'\biah 
Taylor on the Road from Lancaster & mett it on the turnpike Road at West Brandywine 
Bridge ; then changed it into another Carriage & brought it to his house. 

12, 5 ; This day I was at the burj-ing of the Corpse which was attended by a great number 
of People, & this Evening his two sons, Abiah & George, Came home from Maryland, & miss'd

Richard Sheldon was a taxable in Marple from 17 18 till his death, in 
1752. Joseph Sheldon was a taxable there from i 747, and a John Sheldon 
appears there in 1749. Sometimes the name is written Sheldron. The 
will of Richard Sheldon, of Marple, is dated Oct. 18, 1751, and proven Oct. 
27, 1752: Mentions wife, Ann: gives to son Joseph the land during life, 
then to Joseph's eldest son, William, and so on to the eldest of the male 
line forever: also mentions daughter Mary and grandson Jonathan Sheldon. 

In 1764 Joseph Sheldon was assessed in Marple with 100 acres, 4 horses 
and 5 cows. He was also tax collector that year. In 1777 he had the 
same land. In 1786 William Sheldron had 100 acres of land and Joseph 
Sheldron was classed as an inmate, without lands. 

At Goshen Mo. Mtg., 4, 9, 1779, Mary Smedley, now Sheldron, was

Joseph Smedley received a certificate from Goshen to Uwchlan Mo. Mtg. 
in order for marriage, and Rebecca brought one from Uwchlan to Goshen, 
dated 7, 8, 1784. Joseph obtained from his parents a tract of 15 acres, 94 
perches, and a half interest in another tract of 17 acres, 16 perches, with 
grist and saw mill, known as Grubb's Mills. On this last he erected a malt 
house, on the west side of the race, about 1789, and Nathaniel Grubb and 
Sarah his wife conveyed to him the other half interest in the ground on 
which this stood, Feb. 19, 1790. In 1804 Joseph and family removed from 
Willistown to Little Britain (now Fulton) township, taking a certificate from 
Goshen to Nottingham Mo. Mtg., dated 5, 11, 1804. He purchased land 
on Little Conowingo Creek, upon which he built a house of hewed logs, fol- 
lowed by a saw-mill on the north side of Conowingo, near the foot of Soap- 
stone Hill. A malt house was also erected and a pair of burrs added to

grind corn and barley. Carrying the produce of die neighborhood to 
market was another industry which became profitable to the family. While 
taking a sack of grain up the steps of the mill Joseph .Smedley slipped and 
fell on the edge of the door sill, receiving an injury which caused his death 
after many months' suffering. His widow carried on the work of the farm 
and mills and superintended the combing, spinning and knitting of the wool 
and tlax; which not only supplied the clothing and linen for the household, 
but also some for the market. The malt house burned down and was not 
rebuilt. She built a new brick house for herself and the remainder of the 
family, down by the mills, in 1822; and when a new meeting house was 
erected, in 1823, the family contributed the brick of their own manufacture 
as their share in the work. When Eli, Joseph, Jr., and Rebecca were 
married they successively started house-keeping for a short time in the

THE SMEDLEY FAMILY. 



Thomas Smedley was appointed an overseer 2, 7, i 794, in the room of 
Jeffrey Smedley, released, and was succeeded by Aaron Garrett, 4, ii,- 
1800: was appointed 7, 6, 1798, to read marriage certificates, in which ser- 
vice he was succeeded by Jeffrey Smedley, 11, 6, 1807: was appointed an 
elder 10, 8, 1802, but released from this position 8, 10, 1806, at his own re- 
quest, and on 3, 6, 1807 was recommended as a minister. He received a 
minute, 11, 11, 1803, to accompany Roger Dicks, a prominent minister, on 
a visit to the Southern Quarterly Meeting, in Maryland; and again, ii, 10, 
1809, to visit the meetings in that Quarter, in which he was accompanied 
by Jeffrey Smedley. In the fall of 181 3 he visited the meetings of Abington 
Quarter. Beside these visits to other meetings he exercised a concern to 
call upon the aged and infirm of his own meeting. In the following obitu- 
aries, from the "Village Record," the dates of death of himself and wife 
differ somewhat from those in the records of the meetine. 



&• 



Died, — in VVillistown township, Chester County, on the 25th inst., Thomas Smedley, aged 
77 years. This intelHgent, benevolent and worthy man was for many years previous to his de- 
cease a pubhc preacher in the Society of Friends. It is believed that no person could with 
more propriety than he utter the consolatory language used by St. Paul, when that beloved 
apostle was about to close his earthly pilgrimage : " I have fought a good fight, I have finished 
my course, I have kept the faith ; henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, 
which the Lord, the righteous Judge, shall give me at that day, and not to me only, but to all 
them also that love his appearing." 

Died, on the 25 th of 4th mo. 1836, at her residence in Willistown, Abigail, the widow of 
Thomas Smedley, in the 75th year of her age. The deceased was one who for a long course 
of years pursued the path of the Christian, and the blessing pronounced on the peacemaker 
might well be applied to her, — it appearing to be her concern to live in peace with all men, — 
a dutiful wife, a kind mother, and affectionate friend. 

62. Susanna Smedley^ (Thomas', Thomas, George), b. 10, 22, 1760; 
d. I, 20, 1850; m. about 1807, Robert Clemens, or McClemons, b. Ire- 
land, d. about Jan., 1834. No issue. She was disowned by Goshen Mo. 
Mtg., as Susanna Meclemins, 9, 11, 1807, for marriage by a minister to one 
not a member, and her father devised some land to his daughter Susanna 
McClemons, yet she wrote the name Clemens. Robert Clemens, of Willis- 
town, died intestate, and letters of administration were granted, at the 
widow's request, to Joshua Evans, Jan. 20, 1834. He had a sister Jane, 
wife of Matthias Parker. His personal estate amounted to ;^3684.37, and 
was appraised by Jeffrey and Bennett Smedley; beside which he had sev- 
eral tracts of land, amounting to about 112 acres. The will of Susanna 
Clemens, of Willistown, is dated 6, 6, 1842, by which she devised her planta- 
tion to Robert C. Smedley, son of her nephew, Abiah T. Smedley, at 22

of Abiah. Articles of furniture were given to nieces. Thomas Cox was 
appointed guardian of Robert C. Smedley.

Michael Harlan, son of James Harlan, of Monkwearmoudi, in England, 
came from the North of Ireland, with his brother George, about the year 
1687, and married Dinah, dau. of Henry Dixon, of New Casde. Their 
eldest son, George, b. 10, 4, 1690, m. Mary, widow of Alexander Stewart,

son, of East Bradford. No issue. 

He took the real estate of his father at the appraisement and retained 
the homestead, fulling mill, and more than half the land, his brother John 
taking the other part. The fulling mill occupied the site of the east end of 
the present dwelling of John G. Smedley. In 1801 he was assessed with 
100 acres, fulling mill, saw mill, house and barn. He did not take a very 
active part in the affairs of the meeting, but was occasionally appointed on 
committees. His will, dated 10, 3, 18 14, gives to Susanna, his wife, the 
plantation in Willistown, containing 134 acres, during life, and then to his 
nephew, Hunter Smedley: also to wife $2000 and household goods, stock,

By deed of May i, 18 12, John Smedley obtained from his brodier 
Thomas a messuage and two tracts of land in WilHstown, parts of their 
father's estate, for ^500. The larger tract, upon which was the mansion, 
contained 87 acres, and the other 26^ acres. He probably occupied the 
property several years before getting title to it. He was a tanner as well 
as farmer. A statement by his mother, as administratrix of George 
Smedley, shows that John's share of his father's personal estate was 
^149 : 10 : 10, and that he received "By the amount of thy Vendue 
Account, ^31 : 14 : 11 : By the amount of sundry Farming utensils with 
the Bark, Leather & other Appurtenances taken by thee at the appraised 
price amounting to ^190 : 19 : 9: By one third of thy Father's wearing 
Apparrel at the appraised price, £6 : i : o." A bond given by John 
Smedley of Willistown, Tanner, to Thomas Harris of East Whiteland, Inn- 
keeper, for the sum of ^^8 : 14, represents that all the heirs of George 
Smedley except Sarah, the yoimgest, a minor, had executed a deed to said 
Harris, Jan. 25, 1790, for five acres of land in East Whiteland, and pro- 
vided that if the said Sarah Smedley should execute a deed or release 
immediately upon becoming of age, then this bond should be void. 

The will of John Smedley, of Willistown, tanner, is dated 7, 22, 181 5, by 
which he devised to his wife the homestead, with 9 1 acres of land, and a lot 
of woodland, 22 acres, until son Richard Baker Smedley should be 21, and 
then to said son, he paying legacies as follows: To wife, $300; to daus. 
Eliza Ann, Sarah, Mary and Christian, $300 each.

West Chester, and removed thither. March 30, 1855, she received title to 
a farm of 99 acres in West Cain, and on April 3d of same year conveyed 
this to her daughter Mary Ann Nields, of West Chester. She died at the 
home of her said daughter, at Wagontown, in West Cain, in the fall of 1855.

Phebe White received a certificate from Goshen Mo. Mtg. to Hopewell,

ginia by endorsing for a friend. Between 181 1 and 1S18 they removed to 
Greene Co., Ohio, and settled in Xenia township. Some voluminous 
letters written at this place by Phebe White, to her friends in Chester 
county, are preserved. They are almost wholly in a rambling religious 
strain, and while one of them incidentally mentions her husband's death, she 
makes little allusion to the rest of the family.

riage to one not a member he made an acknowledgment to Goshen Mo. 
Mtg., 8, 19, 1754. On 3, 5, 1779, he was complained of by Goshen Meet- 
ing for paying his son's substitute fine with receipts for forage, and his 
acknowledgment was accepted 5, 7, 1779. His wife not being in member-

As a considerable number of the descendants of the Smedley Family are 
also descended from the Pims, it may be of interest to them to read the 
following copy of a letter written by an uncle of the emigrant, William Pim, 
to his grand-nephew, Joshua Pim, of Usher's Island, Dublin. 

TULLYLAST, Co. KiLDARE, ) 

I ith of 1 1 mo. 1768. J 
Joshua Pim, 

Loving Cousin, 

In answer to thy request mentioned in thine of the 9th instant I 
send thee this : I can go no further back than to my great grandfather Richard Pim, who be- 
fore his marriage lived a considerable time, a cook, with (I think he was called) Sir John 
Stanhope, ancestor to the Earl of Chesterfield. I heard of but one brother that he had, called 
Robert Pim, who he said came into Ireland when young, of whom he heard no more. We 
suppose he was that Robert Pim that Sir John Temple mentions to have been murdered by the 
Rebels at Graigue-ne-manch, in the County of Kilkenny. Richard Pim, before his marriage, 



LINE OF GEORGE', MARY\ GEORGE^. ,6 



o 



had acquired what they call tliree livings : I suppose that to be three small pieces of land with 
each a dwelling house on it. 

He took a liking to a neighbor's daughter, a comely young girl of thirteen years of age, and 
as he and his fellow servants rode out on a merry-making, one of his fellow servants took a 
pillow behind him and found her playing ball with other girls and asked her to go with them, 
which she did (it is probable that this was by conceit) and the said Richard married her and 
sent her to a boarding school for two years and then took her home at fifteen years of age. Uv 
her he had my grandfather, William I'im, anil several daughters ; one married to dodfrev 
Cantrell and one married to William Neale. 

My grandfather, William Pim, married Dorothy, the sister of William Neal, and dwt-lt, if I 
remember right, at his grandfather Neales house in Castledunnington, in Leistershire, in the 
year 1641 ; and in the year 1655 Godfrey Cantrell and family came into Ireland and Richard 
Pim, then very old, came with him and some time after died at Godfrey Cantrell's house, near 
Rosenallis (in the Queen's Co.), and was buried in the Church at Rosenallis. Tiie same year 
my grandfather, William Pim, and William Neal and their families came over and settled in 
the County of Cavan, where after some years my grandfather died and was buried in his 
orchard at his own request, tho of the [irofession of the church of England ; about which time 
William Edmundson and Richard Jackson and some other Friends removed to the Queen's 
Co. VVilliam Edmundson settled near Rosenallis, Richard Jackson and my father near Mount 
Melick. My father had his mother to take care of, and one sister, l'",llen, afterwards the wife 
of Thomas Nevitt. My father joined partnership with Richard Jackson in the Fiutrhering 
trade, and at Mount Melick became acquainted with my mother, Mary, the daughter of Wil- 
liam Pleadwell, who was born at Normanton upon Sere, in Nottinghamshire. My grandfather, 
W'illiam Pleadwell, and his wife came into Ireland in 1655, they bemg Baptists, and settled 
near Killaloe. He had by his first wife Tobias Pleadwell, and by a second wife |ohn Plead- 
well, and by a third wife Thomas Pleadwell and my mother and two other daughters, one of 
whom was married to William Neale ; and some time after my grandfather settled near 
Killaloe he was convinced by the ministry of Edward Burroughs and died not long after ; and 
as his son Tobias Pleadwell was convinced some time before his father and settled at Mount 
Melick, my grandmother and her children came to dwell at Mountmelick, and in the year 
1663 my father & mother married and settled at Mountmelick ; but in the year 1665 my father 
& several other friends were sent prisoners for Tythe to Maryborough Gaol, where they con- 
tinued prisoners for several years, though he had nothing titheable but a garden ; so he got a 
house in Maryborough for my mother to dwell in and by favour of the Gaoler or Gaolers fol- 
lowed some business in his trade at Maryborough, and after they were discharged from the 
prison he took a farm at Coalnecart, part of the lands thy father now holds, and in T678 or 
1679 he went to live at Mountrath. As to the time and place of the births of my brothers & 
sisters I refer thee to the abstract of the monthly meeting records of births and burials of 
Mount Melick Monthly Meeting, which abstract, so far as relates to Mountrath meeting is 
mostly in my handwriting. I suppose it is in the hands of John Clendenon. 

Thoma.s Pim 

P. S. Richard Jackson, before mentioned, had three sons, John, Thomas and Robert, and 
one daughter, Sarah, the wife of Nicholas Gribble. John I had no ac(iuaintance with : Thomas, 
thy grandfather, lived at Killenare, and Robert at Mountmelick : thy grandmother, Sarah Pim, 
was born at Killenare. Thou may get all their genealogies out of the records of births and 
burials of Mountmelick monthly meeting. 



!64 THE SMEDLEY FAMILY. 

Thomas Pirn, the writer of the above letter, was the 6th son of John and Mary Pirn. He 
resided in Mountrath until about 1753, when he went to live with his son's family at Tullylast 
in the Co. Kildare. He died a it\s months after he wrote the letter, in his 86th year. He 
had two sons who had large families : my mother was his son Robert's eldest child. She was 
16 years old when he died and often spoke of him with great respect. His last grandchild, 
John Pim, died last summer in his SQth year ; his sister Hannah died in her 91st year in 1849. 
There are now not any of his descendants of the name of Pim among Friends. 

1852. Robert Goodbody. 

John and his sister Hannah both remembered their grandfather, Thomas. His family of 
the name have estates of his purchasing. 

From the records of Mount Melick Monthly Meeting some additional 
facts are presented. Dorothy Pim, mother of fohn Pim, died 9, i, 1685, 
and was buried at Tinnul, near Rosenallis. John Pim died 5, 29, 17 18, at 
Mountrath, and his widow, Mary, 2, 5, 1726; both buried there. Moses 
Pim, their eldest child, b. 7, 19, 1664; m. Ann Raper, dau. of Christopher 
and Philippa, b. 1,9, 1664, at Ivan Mills, near Ballenakill, Queen's Co.; died 
3, 18, 1743; buried at Mountrath. Moses had a rope mill and was killed 
by the machinery i, 5, 171 5. Their fourth child was William Pim, who 
came to Pennsylvania. 

John Edge learned the milling business with his uncle, Richard Downing, 
at Downingtown, and when of age executed a release to his late guardians, 
2, 8, 1766, for his share of his father's estate. In 1768 he was operating 
the "high mill," now of Jacob V. Edge. On March 21, 1772, Jacob Edge 
and wife, Jane Downing, widow, David Reece and Sarah his wife, Richard 
Downing and Mary his wife, and Robert Valentine and Rachel his wife, 
heirs of John Edge (2d), convey their interest in 50 acres in Upper Provi- 
dence, allotted to the widow as her dower, to John Edge*, only son 
of George Edge, deceased. Ann Parke, widow, conveyed her interest in 
the lands of her father, in Upper Providence, being 344 acres, to her 
brother John Edge, 4, 21, 177-; and on Nov. 12, 1786, William Baldwin 
and Mary his wife conveyed their interest to the same. John Edge divided 
the Providence lands into four parts, and by deed of 4, 30, 1793, conveyed 
the N. E. lot, containing 118 acres, 40 perches, to Thomas Bishop; the 
N. W. lot, 91 acres, 46 perches, on the same date to Joseph Bishop; the 
S. W. lot, 107 acres, 100 perches, on .same date, to Gideon Dunn, and the 
remainder, 78 acres, 56 perches, to William Eachus, May 10, 1797. 

John Edge purchased from his uncle Robert Valentine, Feb. 7, 1780, a 
messuage and two tracts of land in East Cain, containing in both 29 acres, 
46 perches, and succeeded his uncle as storekeeper at Downingtown. In 
1 790 he petitioned for a tavern license, representing "That your Petitioner, 




y. i- 
y< r- 



LINE OF GEORGE', MARY'-, GEORGES l6- 

Having for a Number of Years followed the Business of Store keeping in a 
large Commodious house, nearly opposite Rich'' Downing's Mill in Down- 
ings Town, On the great road from Lancaster to Phil", and nearly where 
the road from Harrisburg intersects the same and Crosses to West Chester. 
But finding y'" Bisness of Store-keeping (since the late Custom of Tavern 
Keepers opening store has taken place) is by no means sufficient to raise 
and support his family according to their former and usual Custom, Hope 
Therefore you will be pleased to recommend him to the Executive Counsil 
as a proper person to keep a publick house of Entertainment," <S:c. This 
was signed by twenty-two of his neighbors. A counter petition, in the 
interest of other tavernkeepers. intimates that John Edge's design was to 
suppress a store lately set up by Hunt Downing, a tavernkeeper, and that 
the moderate prices at which they were now enabled to buy goods justified 
the latter. However, John Edge's application was successful, and the place 
was called the Half- Way House. In 1796 he was succeeded by his daugh- 
ter Sarah Reese, as landlady, and on 3, 20, 1S12, John Edge and wife con- 
veyed the house, with 72 perches of ground, to their daughter Sarah (now) 
Hannum. 

By deed of April 10, 1791, John Edge purchased from James Hootl and 
wife Catharine, a tract of 65 acres, 9 perches, in East Cain, and another of 
32 acres, 100 perches, in West Bradford, called "Laurel Nap." From Dr. 
Thomas Parke, of Philadelphia, he purchased, April 5, 1792, the Parke 
homestead of 222 acres, in East Cain, on which the "Ship" tavern had been 
kept for many years. Here he enlarged the mansion to double its former 
size, and continuing to add to his lands, purchased from John Hoopes and 
wife, June 30, 1798, a meadow lot on tfie Brandywine, containing 12 acres, 
51 perches; and from Thomas and Robert W'oodward, Nov. 21, 1800, 32 
acres, 120 perches in West Bradford. On the western half of the Ship 
Farm he erected a house for his son George. By his will, dated 7, 27. 
18 14, he made provision for his wife and unmarried daughters; devised to 
his son Thomas the greater part of the purchase from James Hood, with 
that obtained from John Hoopes, and one-third of the Woodward purchase, 
with some small addition, making in all nearly 118 acres; to son George 
H5}4 acres of the homestead, and the residue of lands to his son John, 
being about 125 acres. To his five daughters he gave $2133 each, beside 
a town lot. 

He is represented as having possessed great force of character and an 
active enterprising temper, and was fortunate in business. A keen ob- 
server, he was given to sallies of humor or wisdom for the benefit of his 
neighbors, many of which were current long after his death.

Valley, in East Cain township, whereon they settled. Thomas Parke 
brought a certificate from the meeting at Carlow, Ireland, dated 2, 15, 
1724, which stated "that he hath lived since his Convincement, which is

Joseph Taylor, son of Abiah Taylor, of Didcott, in Berkshire, England, 
was married March 1 6, i 700, to Elizabeth Haines, of Harwell, in the same 
county. They arrived in Chester county in 1708, bringing a certificate 
from Friends in their native place, and settled on the Brandywine, in 
Kennet (now Pennsbury) township. Later he built a mill on Pocopson 
Creek. Elizabeth Taylor died 6, 21, 1743, and her husband 3, 30, 1744; 
both probably buried at Birmingham Meeting, of which he was one of the 
trustees. Their children were Joseph, Richard, Jeremiah, John, Hannah 
(m. William Temple), Benjamin and Sarah (m. John Jones).

marriage he removed to East Cain, where, in 1787, he was assessed with 
250 acres of land. In 1793 they removed to West Whiteland, and in 1799 
had 140 acres of land, grist and saw mill, which he obtained from his father 
by deed and will. 

WILLISTOWN MEETING. 

By deed of 4, 12, 1753, Francis Smedley, of Willistown, and Ann his 
wife, conveyed to Thomas Smedley, Amos Yarnall, Benjamin Hibberd, 
Lawrence Cox and Thomas Massey, all of Willistown, one acre of land in 
that township, in trust for the use of them the said Thomas Smedley, Amos 
Yarnall, Benjamin Hibberd, John Hibberd, Francis Yarnall, John Yarnall, 
Moses Yarnall, Joseph James, William Garrett, John Smedley and divers 
other Freeholders and Inhabitants of the said Township of Willistown, 
joyned together in a company or society to build a commodious School 
House upon the same acre of Land and to employ a capable Master to 
teach their children and youth in necessary learning. The "free Liberty 
and Privilege of the nighest spring of water" was also included in the grant. 

Upon this land a school house was erected and here, it is supposed, the 
first Friends' meeting in Willistown was held by special indulgence from 
Goshen Mondily Meeting, but the date is wanting. The marriage cerdfi- 
cate of Benjamin Hibberd and Mary Garrett, dated 10, 19, 1769, states that 
the marriage took place at a meeting appointed for the purpose in a meet- 
ing^ house in Willistown. 

At Goshen Mo. Mtg., 4, 9, 1784: "The ffrd' who have usually held a 
meeting During the Winter Season at Willistown now Request, with the 
approbation of Goshen & Newtown preparative meetings, to have a meet- 
ing settled there & to hold a preparative meeting, which is left for further 
sollid consideration." The subject was referred from month to month until 
10, 8, 1784: "The Request for having a meeting settled at Willistown, hav- 
ing been for some time before this meeting & there not appearing sufficient 
uniting in sentiment for it to Go forward it is Dropt at present." 

6, 8, 1787: "The friends who have usually attended the Willistown Meet- 
ing Requests to have a meeting setded there to be held on first and fifth 
days except the day before Goshen Mo. Meeting, which is left under con- 
sideration another Mo." At the next meeting, 7, 6, 1787, "The Request 
for having a meeting settled at Willistown coming under weighty considera- 
tion & after much time spent thereon it is concluded to be laid before our 
next Quarterly Meeting." 

12, 5, 1788: A minute of the Quarterly Meedng was produced, as fol-

lows : " The committee continued on the request from WilHstown produced 
the following report, viz' : We of the committee continued on the request 
from WilHstown, having had a weighty conference on the subject of estab- 
lishing a meeting there, and being favoured with a comfortable calm which 
hath tended to the uniting of our hearts together do agree to report that 
we are free the Quarterly meeting should grant them their request. 
Signed on behalf of 13 men & 10 women friends, being all of the committee 
that attended, by Phebe Miller Kli Yarnall

"Which being weightily attended to was approved & the s*" meeting 
allowed of to be held on the first & fifth days of the week Except the fifth 
day next preceeding their monthly meeting, agreeable to their request, & 
the Clark is directed to furnish Goshen Monthly Meeting with a cop\- 
of this minute. 

"Taken from the minutes of Chester Quarterly Meeting held the 1 i tli 
month the loth 1788. By Joshua Sharpless, Clk." 

At Goshen Mo. Mtg., 4, 11, i 794 : " Friends of WilHstown particular 
meeting Requests to have a preparative meeting settled there, which is left 
under consideration." 5,9, 1794: "The Request for having a preparative 
meeting settled at WilHstown being now resumed & after some time spent 
thereon it is united with & agreed to be layd before the Quarterly meeting." 

This request was granted by the Quarterly Meeting held at Concord, 8, 
1 1, 1794. In 1 80 1 the place of holding the monthly meetings was changed 
from Goshen to WilHstown, as being more central. This had been antici- 
pated by the building of a new meeting house in 1798, which is thus 
certified on the minutes, 2, 8, 1799: "A new meeting house is built at 
WilHstown to supply the place of the old one." 

Ann Smedley, widow of Francis Smedley, the grantor of the lot for 
school purposes, by deed of 6, 6, 1793, conveyed an addition of three- 
quarters of an acre to the " lot of ground belonging to WilHstown Friends' 
Meeting House," to William Garrett, Amos Garrett and Jeffrey Smedley,— 
for the purpose of erecting a house thereon and for a place of burial of the 
dead. No explanation is made as to the transference of the original lot 
from the school trustees to the use of the meeting. By her will, dated 4. 
10, 1794, Ann Smedley devised the adjoining land to her niece Ann Scott, 
wife of John Scott, and these made a further addition to the grounds by 
deed of 2, 4, 1803, for i acre, 18 perches of land to Nathaniel Grubb and 
Jeffrey Smedley, who transferred the same to the trustees of the meeting, in 
1 811, as a gift. John Scott and wife conveyed to the trustees 46 perches

more land, at a later date, and Anna Scott, widow, by deed of 6, 10, 18 19, 
added 97.6 per. Benjamin Hibberd conveyed 145 perches to the trustees, 
3, 18, 1 81 6; so that the present property is made up of six separate con- 
veyances, amounting to 4 acres, 35 perches.

the Building a stone Wall Round our Burials Ground, after having several times conferd on 
the Occasion, unite in proposing a Subscription to meet the Expence of Building a Wall of

Rachel Cox received a certificate from Goshen to Uwchlan Mo. Mtg., 6, 
10, 1763. After her marriage she received one from Uwchlan back to 
Goshen, dated 2, 8, 1770. She was appointed an overseer at different 
times, and later an elder, ot Willistown Meeting, which position she occu- 
pied at the time of her death. 

— ■ Aaron Garratt, her husband, was an overseer and an active member of 
the meeting. In 1787 he was assessed with 100 acres of land. By the will 
of his stepfather, Amos Yarnall, dated 4, 20, 1 788, proven Feb. 6, i 790, he 
inherited the farm of the latter, containing 100 acres, subject to the payment 
of legacies of ^50 each to four children of the testator. When his youngest 
son was about to marry, he built an addition to the old Yarnall mansion in 
order to accommodate two families. A stone in the western gable bears

Joseph Richards was a purchaser of 500 acres of land from William 
Penn, a part of which was surveyed in Aston township, 6, 26, 1682, but the 
deeds not being recorded we are not informed as to his place of residence 
in England. He was present at a court held at Upland, now Chester, Sept. 
12, 1682, and it has been claimed on the authority of Hazard (Annals, p. 
604) that he was a member of the first Assembly held in Pennsylvania, but 
the evidence is not conclusive. A deed from John Bristow to Jasper Yeates 
recites that David Lloyd, on Sept. 8, 1693, had conveyed to Joseph Richards, 
"of the town and County of Chester, Physitian," a parcel of meadow or 
Cripple, containing three acres, in Chester township; and that the latter had 
conveyed the same to John Bristow, Jan. 16, 1702-3. 

William Cecil, of Longcomb, Oxfordshire, having purchased 250 acres of 
land from William Penn, his widow, Ann, and son Thomas conveyed a

moiety thereof to Joseph Richards Junior, "of New Yate in the fish of 
Whitney in the said County of Oxon, masson," Feb. 25, 1685. This indi- 
cates that the son did not come over with his father, but was probably from 
the same place. By a deed dated 10, 5, 1688, Joseph Richards, Senior, 
conveyed to Joseph Richards, Junior, 200 acres in Aston. 

Jane Richards, wife of Joseph and mother of his children, was alive in 
1689, but the time of her death is unknown. The family appear to have 
.been in membership with Friends, yet took litde part in the affairs of the 
meeting-. The will of Joseph Richards, of Chichester, is dated 7, 6, 1705, 
and proven Feb. 16, 1710-11. In this he devised to his son Joseph 5 shil- 
lings, and to his two elder children, Susanna and Joseph, 5 shillings each: 
to "son Nathaniel's three children, William, Nathaniel and Elizabeth, /s 
each: mentions son-in-law Humphrey Scarlet and daughter Ann Scarlet, 
dauohter Susanna Lownes and her four children, Joseph, James, Hannah 
and Susanna Lownes. 

Nathaniel Richards married Mary Mason, dau. of Richard Mason, and 
lived in Aston. His will, dated 12,6, 1 699-1 700, proven Oct. 10, 1700. 
shows that he was a blacksmith: mentions his father, Joseph Richards, wife 
Mary and four children, William, Nathaniel, Elizabeth and Mary. His 
widow married Thomas Rowland, and they made an acknowledgment to 
Concord Mo. Mtg., 12, 10, 1706, for their outgoing in marriage against the 
advice of friends. They settled in the Toughkenamon Valley, where 
Thomas died in 1708, and Mary married again, 8, 10, 181 3, Evan Powell, 
of Nottingham. By her 2d husband she had children, Ruth, Mary and 
Rachel, and by the 3d had Sarah Powell. Of the children by Nathaniel 
Richards, Mary probably died before her grandfather, and William before 
1 715. Elizabeth married Roger Kirk and a genealogy of her descendants 
has been published. 

Nathaniel Richards. Jr., married Margaret W^iley, dau. of Allen (and 
Sarah ?) Wiley, from Ireland, and setded in New Garden, where he died 
about 1730, leaving children, William, m. Joanna Jenkins and Jane Miller; 

Nathaniel m. Hannah , and Isaac. Margaret married a 2d husband, 

William Carpenter, from England, whom she survived, and died in West 
Bradford, 12, 5, 1796, aged 90 years, and leaving 113 descendants. 

Isaac Richards m. i, 17, 1753- Mary Gregg, b. 12, 12, 1729; dau. of 
Thomas and Dinah Gregg, of Rennet. They resided in New Garden and 
had children, Thomas, Nathaniel, Isaac, William, Mary and Lydia. 

Hannah Cox took a certificate from Goshen to Uwchlan, dated 10, 11, 
1776. Thomas Richards took one from New Garden, 10, 6, 1778, to

Uwchlan, and thence to New Garden, 5, 6, 1779. She was residing in Hast 
Cain township at the time of her marriage, and received a certificate to New

Francis Yarnall and his brother Philip came from Claines (or Cloines), 
a small village in Worcestershire, near the city of Worcester. They first 
settled on 100 acres of land in Springfield township, adjoining George 
Maris, about a mile from Springfield Meeting, on the road to Clifton. This 
land was surveyed to Francis Oct. 17, 1683, and patented 12, 6, 1685. 
They were at first members of Darby Meeting. Francis Yarnall, " of Stone 
Creek head," and Hannah Baker were married 8 mo. 1686. He afterward 
purchased 510 acres in Willistown, adjoining Edgmont line, and died there

Isaac Yarnall, son of John and Abigail, was complained of by Middletown 
Meeting, 8, 27, 1753, for marriage out to one not a member, and without 
his mother's consent, for which he was disowned 10, 29, 1753. His wife 
was Mary, b. May 10, 1733, dau. of James and Elizabeth (Albin) Bennett, 
of Middletown. On Aug. 25, 1761, he petitioned for license to keep tavern, 
representing "that your Petitioner's House is ver}' conveniently Situated for 
a publick House of Entertainment on Edgemont Great Road leading to the 
great Valley, &c., about Eight Miles nearer Chester than the Sign of the 
Boot, where Jonathan Davis lately kept publick House, and about four 
Miles above Talbot's Tavern." This was also signed by sixteen of his 
neighbors, and his request was granted. It is believed that the tavern was 
kept in the present residence of James Thorp. After the death of Isaac 
Yarnall, in i 765, his widow continued the business until her death, about 
the 1st of Nov. 1766. John Hoopes (No. 150) rented the property and 
kept tavern till 1771, when John Neal succeeded him for six years. Wil- 
liam Dunwoody was perhaps the landlord (at this place ?) for two years, 
after which it does not appear that the license was renewed. The children 
of Isaac and Mary Yarnall were;

Richard ap Thomas, of Whitford Garden, Flintshire, Wales, was a pur- 
chaser of 5000 acres of land from William Penn, by deeds of lease and re- 
lease, dated July 24 and 25, 1681, for the sum of /loo. Tradition .says 
that while he inclined towards or joined with Friends, his wife adhered to 
the established church, and for this reason was unwilling to accompany him 
to Pennsylvania. Leaving his wife and daughter behind him he brought his 
son Richard, and reached Philadelphia in the year 1683. He was probably 
taken sick soon after his arrival, as his will is dated 9th mo. 18, 168^, in 
which he styles himself as "late of Whitford Garden, in Flintshire, and now- 
being arrived in the province of Pennsylvania." He devised his lands here 
to his son Richard ap Thomas, and appointed his friend. Dr. Thomas 
Wynne, executor and guardian. To his wife and daughter he devised the 
personal estate left with the former in Wales. Although he died soon after 
this the will was not registered undl Jan. 15, 1695-6, by which time the son 
became of age. Thomas Wynne resided for a time at Philadelphia, and 
afterward at Lewis, in Sussex County, on Delaware, and died in 1692. It 
appears that Richard Thomas, the son, was living at Lewis in 1693. Col. 
Richard Thomas, writing of his ancestors, says: 

The family of Ap Thomas appears to have been many generations land-holders in Whitford 
Garden, having a freehold of ^300 a year, and of course being within the grade of gentlemen 
and the game act. Whether the surname was uniformly Thomas, or changed occasionally 
according to Welsh practice, cannot be ascertained, though by recurrence to books of heraldry 
it appears that a family of Thomases in that country was ancient. Richard ap Thomas being 
in years, and grown tired with the dissipation of his compeers, embraced the tenets of the 
Quakers and joined in Penn's first migration to Pennsylvania, bringing his only son, Richard, 
a boy about ten years of age and a number of dependants. These, after his death, made use 
of the stock of provisions and perishable articles of their late master, under pretext of support- 
ing the orphan, until all was exhausted, and then turned him off to find his sustenance from 
his landed estate. Thus left forlorn, he selected Dr. Lloyd, Lieutenant Governor, and some 
other legal guardians (the guardian and trustee under his father's will being deceased), and 
was by sales of some rights of land provided for and educated,— studying physic with the 
doctor, his guardian. Arriving at legal age he procured letters of administration in his own 
name, and located his remaining lands about the year 1695. The lapse of near a dozen years 
of minority lost him the advantage of locating in the vicinity of the seat of commerce, and he 
had the necessity of going into the wilderness (as then thought) for good land. He found a 
tract of about 600 acres in Goshen, now part of the seat of West Chester, but the prmcipai 
tracts were in the gloomy dale then and since called the (keat Valley. 

About the year 1699 he visited his native land in Wales, where he found his only sister re- 
duced to indigence, his mother having intermarried with a man who dissipated all their joint

property (willed them by Richard ap Thomas), and his mother then deceased. He brought 
over his sister, or she followed soon after, who was married to Llewellin Parry, and became 
the mother of a family, some of whose descendants are still living in Chester County, viz., 
Nancy Hunter, the wife of Thomas Bull, Esq., and several other sisters, all of whom have 
issue. Returning again to Pennsylvania, he married Grace Atherton and settled in the Valley 
at a place called by the Indians (settled on it) Cata-moon-shink, meaning hazlenut grove, 
now West VVhiteland township, a name probably derived from Whitford, the seat of the family 
in Wales. 

We have seen that Richard, in 1693, was Hving at Lewis, in Sussex 
County. In 1704 he was styled "of Meirion, in the County of Philadelphia, 
Carpenter," and in March, 1711, was of Blockley. Of his 5000 acres of 
land he sold 1786 acres to various persons, unpatented. July 12, 1703, he 
obtained a patent for two tracts, one of 1065 acres, of which the southwest 
corner is in the centre of West Chester, and another of 600 acres in New- 
town, which was afterwards given up because it interfered with other sur- 
veys. May 17, 1704, he received another patent for 1548^ (by resurvey, 
1869) acres, in Whiteland, making, with the city lots, his full complement of 
5000 acres. 

He was married at his own house, in Whiteland township, 11, 13, 171 2- 
13, by Friends' ceremony, to Grace Atherton, late of Liverpool, daughter of 
Henry and Jennet Atherton, who had not then come over to Pennsylvania. 
It does not appear that he was then, or later, considered to be in member- 
ship with Friends. He died in Whiteland, 1744, being survived by Grace, 
his wife, and both were buried in what has been called "Malin's Graveyard," 
in East Whiteland. Issue:

The Colonial Records of Pennsylvania from 1774 until the close of the 
Revolutionary War are replete with notices of the active services, both civil 
and military, of the 4th Richard Thomas of Chester County. He was a 
member of the first association in the county formetl to carry out the views 
and effect the purposes of the Continental Congress. In September, 1775, 
he was lieutenant-colonel of a reoiment of volunteers, beine the first reei- 
ment raised in Chester County. April 19, 1776, he was appointed colonel 
of the 5th battalion of Associators, in the county of Chester. The commis- 
sion, dated that day, is signed " By order of the Assembly, John Morton, 
Speaker." Col. Thomas was a member of the Provincial Conference or 
Convention, composed of the county committees, which met June 18, 1776. 
This Conference appointed the Pennsylvania delegates who signed the 
Declaration of Independence; and also adopted measures for organizing 
six thousand militia, the number assigned to Pennsylvania by Congress as 
her quota of ten thousand militia, who were directed to form a flying camp 
for the middle colonies. Col. Thomas commanded the Chester County 
regiment of this flying camp in a campaign across New Jersey, as far as 
Amboy, for the protection of Philadelphia. His duties as a militia officer of 
Chester County in procuring and distributing arms and mimitions of war, 
were of the most arduous and responsible character. His breach of some 
of the fundamental principles of Friends did not pass unnoticed by his 
fellow members. 

Whereas Richard Thomas, who was Educated in Religious Profession with us the People 
Called Quakers, yet for want of taking heed to the gift of Divine grace in his own heart, hath 
been of late concerned in puting in Execution sundry things of a Public Nature which in their 
tendancy are Repugnant to our principles & also hath further Deviated from our peaceable 
Testimony against wars & fighting in accepting of the Command of a party of Men in learning 
the Art of War, for which we have frequently laboured with him in Christian love in order to 
Convince him of his Errors, which having not had the Desired Effect we therefore think it 
necessary for the clearing of our Religious society to Declare to the World that we can no 
longer Deem the said Richard Thomas to be a Member Thereof until from a true sight & sense 
of his Errors he condemn the said Misconduct to the Satisfaction of this Meeting, which is our 
desire for him. Signed by order of the said Meeting by

hopes of capturing him, but he being notified escaped. The enemy put a 
rope around his wife's neck and threatened to hang her to the hntel of the 
door if she did not tell where her husband was concealed. Thomzin D. 
Thomas, of Whitford Hall, with one exception the oldest living grandchild, 
tells of a similar incident. 

Col. Thomas was with his troops near Lionville, in Uwchlan, when his 
family were starded by an alarm of the English soldiers in the immediate 
vicinity of the house. They had previously been careful to conceal all the 
silver ware not needed for use, and the residue was hastily removed from 
the breakfast table and thrown into the bottom of an old tall clock. The 
marauders found it, however, and were provoked at not finding more, so 
they broke the case of the clock and injured the works to some extent. 
One of Col. Thomas's sisters remained in the house, and they tried to make 
her reveal the hiding place of the valuables, which she, like many of the 
women of that day, refused to do. In the old-time kitchen there were sev- 
eral strong wooden pegs or meat hooks, and one of iron. In order to 
make her tell they tied a rope around her neck and strung her up to one of 
the wooden pins, but she being a heavy person her weight broke them in 
succession. She was afraid they would notice the iron pin, which she knew 
would hold her, but fortunately they did not, and becoming tired or fearful 
of being surprised they desisted. The old clock was afterward repaired 
and is now one of the best dme-keepers in the neighborhood. 

In the years 1786 to 1789, inclusive. Col. Thomas was elected a member 
of Assembly, and in 1790, to the State Senate. In April, 1793, he was ap- 
pointed a brigadier-general of militia by Governor Mififlin, but declined to 
accept. In the years 1794, 1796 and 1798 he was elected a member of the 
Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Congresses, being the first representative from his 
native county under the Constitution of the United States. 

Richard Thomas and his brother George inherited their father's lands, 
and in 1777 were assessed with 250 acres each, in West Whiteland, beside 
which Richard had a grist mill. As they had been "plundered .by the 
enemy" they were excused from paying tax that year. It has been stated 
that at the outbreak of the rebellion Richard conveyed his land to his peace- 
able brother to prevent its confiscation in case the Americans were unsuc- 
cessful. The old mansion, which stood close by the present residence of 
his grandson, Richard Ashbridge, was accidentally burned in 1895. About 
1782 he erected a new house on the Lancaster Road, of dark red brick, 
which was painted fifty or more years ago a drab or light brown. But little 
chano-e has been made to the outside, while the interior has undergone con-

Uwchlan Meeting began to send representatives to the monthly meedng

James Pugh and Samuel John were appointed overseers of the meeting, 
S, 29, 1 716. The present house was erected in 1756, but was remodeled 
about 1875. I'^aac Lewis and David Owen each left a small legacy, in 
I 771, towards walling the graveyard, and the work was commenced on the 
side next the road in the following year; at which time Thomas Evans 
donated some land to enlarge the ground and Joseph Phipps devised £\o 
for repairs and improvements thereon. James Speary next bequeathed 
/60 for the use of walling the ground, which appears to have been com- 
pleted in 1775, under the direction of Thomas Evans. In 1782 legacies are 
reported from Dennis VVhelen, ^10, Jane Downing, ^,'io, and Mary Phipps, 
£1. In I 788 a legacy of £2 was received from Elizabeth Davis ; one of

for repairs to the house and graveyard. Phebe Smedley, by will, 1892, 
gave $500 to the funds of the meeting. The following is from the minutes 
of Uwchlan Monthly Meeting, which was established by division of Goshen 
Monthly Meeting, 1763: 

I, S, 1778: A few Days ago the Key of the Meeting-house at Uwchlan was demanded by 
some of the Physicians to the continental Army in order to convert the same into an Hospital 
for their sick Soldiers ; the Friend who had the Care of the House and Key refusing to deliver 
It, forcible Entry was made into the House and Stables and as there is no Prospect of enjoy- 
ing the House peaceably from next First day it is agreed that Uwchlan Friends hold their 
meetings at the House of our Friend George Thomas in the Great Valley and that our pre- 
parative and monthly meetings be held at Nantmeal on the usual Days till further Order. 

The monthly meeting was held at Nantmel, 8, 6, 1778, but a month later 
it was again held at Uwchlan. Owing to a falling off of members the house 
is only used occasionally at the present time.

built about 181 1 and moved there. The old building was converted into 
two dwellings, in one of which his son William died. He afterward built 
a farm-house a little southwest of the Eagle, in 1826, in which he died; as

In 1799 Caleb Smedley was assessed in Easttown as a wheelwright, with 
26 acres of land, stone house and log barn, i horse and 2 cattle. This 
property then belonged to his father, who sold a part of it and devised the 
residue, together with the homestead of 80 acres in Willistown, adjoining 
the other, to this son, who removed to the homestead. Caleb Smedley and 
wife Sarah, of Willistown, by deed of April 1 1, 181 7, conveyed to their son 
Joshua 13 acres, 67 perches, in Easttown, it being the greater part of the 
above residue. Caleb Smedley died intestate and letters of administration

son Caleb claimed the right to administer, as the only surviving son, — his 
mother being old and imbecile, — yet renounced this right in favor of the 
others. The administrators conveyed the homestead, containing 98 acres

county of Westmoreland, and on the 9th of 7th mo. 1705, took passage from 
London to Philadelphia. They settled at Chester, where he was a farmer 
and maltster. Beside 400 acres in that township he purchased 1000 acres 
in Westtown and other tracts elsewhere. He traveled considerably in the 
ministry, was of a jovial character, and numerous anecdotes are handed 
down of his wit and humor. He died 9, 20, 1739, and his wife, 11, 12, 174S, 
aged 70 years, 10 months, 26 days. They had eleven children, Joseph,

202 THE SMEDLEY FAMILY. 

The Philadelphia directory for 1830 locates widow Elizabeth Hampton 
and Joseph M. Hampton, saddler, at 12 North alley. The marriage certifi- 
cate of Samuel Hampton and Sarah Smedley was given by Mary J. Breed

Cain, Chester Co. No issue. 

Some additional information respecting Joseph Moore, father of Phebe 
Truman, has been obtained since that on page no was printed. 

He was a shoemaker by trade but in conjunction with his wife opened a 
dry goods store on Bank Street, where they were enabled to realize a com- 
petency, notwithstanding their hospitality. It is said that at Yearly Meet- 
ing time they lodged thirty Friends, — the men in one room and the women 
in another, — though the house was not a large one; and when Friendly 
looking persons came into the store Sarah was very apt to find they were 
relatives and insist on their taking a meal with them. 

The lot on Arch Street which they held by purchase and inheritance, was 
sold during the Revolution to Samuel Wetherell, for ^50, Penna. currency. 
In later life, when he saw the great advance in real estate, Joseph Moore 
much regretted their havine made this sale. 

After the Revolution, at the reorganization of the Pennsylvania Abolition 
Society, in i 784, Joseph became a member, and for some years was on the 
committee to visit the prison in search of such colored persons as might be 
committed there, legally or otherwise, on the charge of being fugitive slaves, 
and to insure them a fair trial. At the organization of the Prison Society 
he became identified with it also.

He always made his own shoes, taking plenty of time that they might be 
well seasoned; and after Congress removed to Washington he I'rsually 
paid a visit to that city during each session. On such an occasion he enter- 
tained some of the members by stating that his shoemaker was his barber, 
and his barber was his tailor, and probably mentioned some other accom- 
plishments; so that they thought his shoemaker must be a very useful 
man. He had patterns by which he cut the materials for his coat, vest and 
pants, and made these up himself. His white beaver hat, according to a 
fashion with many Friends, had the fur immediately above the brim brushed 
smooth, and the upper part rough. 

When his grandchildren were left orphans they were brought to his home 
and cared for, and he was likewise attentive to his stepchildren. He died 
12, 25, 181 7, in his 77th year. 

RiCH.-VRD Tkum.vn, with Martha his wife, and some children, came from 
England about 171 5 and settled in what is now Montgomery Co., Pa. By 
deed of Nov. 17, 1716, Stephen Jenkins, of Springhead, in the township of 
Abington, yeoman, and Abigail his wife, and Elizabeth Jenkins, widow of 
William Jenkins, of Springhead, yeoman, conveyed to Richard Truman, of 
Cheltenham township, weaver, for /105, all that said messuage or tenement 
and plantation known by the name of Springhead, together with one hun- 
dred and forty acres of land thereunto belonging, in the township of Abing- 
ton. This was close to Abington Meedng. March 9. 1716-7, Richard 
Truman, of Abington, weaver, and wife Martha, mortgaged this property to 
William Harmer of Springfield, yeoman, as an indemnity. In the 5th mo. 
1722, Richard Truman took a cerdficate from Abington to Gwynedd Mo. 
Mtg. for himself, wife and mother-in-law (who is not named), and probably 
setded at this time in what is now Berks County, where he purchased 212 
acres of land on " Menokejee Creek," in the township of Oley. Here he 
made his will, u, 20, 1729^30, which was proven March 14, 1729-30. 
Soon after his death his widow, Martha Truman, removed to Philadelphia 
with some or all of her children, and there died about the 22d of 6th mo. 
1758. at the age of nearly 85 years, and was buried in Friends' ground. 
The children of Richard Truman were: 

Thomas, b. perhaps about 1705, in England, supposed to have been a half-brother to the 
other children ; m. 9, 29, 1733, ,\nn Bolton, and in 1751 settled in Sadsbiiry, Chester 
County.

roofing business. He was of a mechanical turn and inventive genius, and 
took out two patents for a stove and a steam washer. 

When the market houses were extended westward from 4th Street James 
Trimian drafted a plan which included a box in which the hooks &c., were 
stored after market hours to guard against accident. This plan was 
accepted by the city. He and his brother Evan were among the original 
members of the Harmony Fire Company, organized 8 mo. 24, 1784, m 
Friends' Fourth Street Meeting House. The original members were Daniel 
Drinker, Richard Price, Abraham Liddon, Thomas Harrison, Arthur Howell,

In 1 68 1, Henry Maddock, of Loom Hall, Cheshire, England, and his 
brodier-in-law, James Kennedy, purchased 1500 acres of land from William 
Penn, and arrived here some time before die Proprietary, in 16S2. In i6S\ 
part of this joint purchase, supposed to be 800 acres, but really more than 
1 100 acres, was located in Springfield township, adjoining Ridley, and James 
established his residence upon it. After a few years he died, when his 
share of the joint purchase passed to Henr>- Maddock, who, returning to 
England, conveyed the whole to his eldest son, Mordecai Maddock. Jane 
Maddock, daughter of Henr)-, m. 1690, George Maris, Jr. 

Mordecai Maddock was appointed a trustee for Chester Meedng, 10, 5, 
1687; and 8, 13, 1690, to receive subscriptions in Marple township towards 
building a meeting house in Chester. After this he returned to England, 
but was again in this country, 1701 to 1703, at which time there is no evi- 
dence of his being a married person. In 1 727 he produced a certificate for 
himself and wife, Sarah, from Nottingham Monthly Meeting, England. 
Mordecai Maddock, of Springfield, and Dorothy Roman, of^'chicirestcr. 
widow of Philip Roman, were married Nov. 8, 1733, at Springfield Meeting! 
In 1736 Friends of Chester meeting sold their old meedng house to Edward 
Russell, and Mordecai Maddock, as surviving trustee, was requested to 
e.xecute a deed for the same. No further mention of him appears on the 
records, nor can any will or administration on his estate be found. He had 
probably disposed of all his property' prior to his second marriage, reserving

John, Benjamin, Elizabeth and James. To Henry he conveyed 200 acres of 
land, .Sept. 29, 1733, and to his son John 300 acres more on the same date, 
includini,^ the present site of Swarthmore College. He had previously, 
1698-1702, disposed of the residue of the Springfield lands. 

Benjamin Maddock m. 1734, Elizabeth, dau.of John Hart of Philadelphia, 
and continued to reside in Springfield. Beside a son Benjamin they had a 
daughter Elizabeth who married Thomas Manley. Benjamin Maddock, Jr., 
received a certificate from Chester to Philadelphia Mo. Mtg., 8, 25, 1766, 
and is supposed to have been the father of William L. Maddock.

land, and was the last survivor of the family. By her will she devised her 
real estate to her nephew, Thomas Smedley, with legacies to the other chil- 
dren of her brother Isaac. She also gave to Rebecca Edwards $500: to 
Philip Kirk, $100, and to Sarah, wife of Thomas Russell, $100.

_ Some of die dates here given are from Timodiy Hopkins, of .San Fran- 
cisco, Cal, who has been collecting the genealogy of the Kelloggs of New 
England. It is probable that Enos R. Kellogg came to Delaware County 
as a teacher, and that he fell in love with one of his pupils. In a letter 
written by him 9, 4, 1830, to his brother-in-law, Ambrose Smedley, he says, 
"It seems but as yesterday when I watched thee playing thy sportive tricks 
on thy school fellows at Blue Hill." The school at Blue Hill, in Upper 
Providence, was an important educational institution in that region, having 
been opened as eariy as 1777, on land of George Miller, who, Tn 1794, de''- 
vised one acre and two perches of land in trust^for the use of the school, 
under care of Chester Monthly Meeting. His relative, James Turner, had 
devised his house and lot adjoining, for the same use, in 1787, and in 1799 
Ambrose and James Smedley were among the new trustees appointed for 
the two properties. 

Elizabeth Kellogg was complained of by Middletown Meeting, 10, 27, 
1800, for marriage by a magistrate to one not a member, but her acknowl- 
edgment was accepted 2, 23, 1801. Some old letters, written by her and 
other members of her family, and now in possession of her nephew, John H. 



^q3 the smedley family. 

Smedley, on the old homestead, show that the Kelloggs had removed to 
Mifflin County as early as i8i i, where their struggles for a livelihood were 
evident. One of these, without the year of date, mentions the death of the 
mother. The son Enos was a shoemaker in 1830. He is said to have had 
five children, Elizabeth, Sarah Josephine, Amanda Elmira. Rebecca Jane and 
Hannah Matilda, and his widow to have been at York, Nebraska, in iSjJ, 
but inquiry there failed to find trace of the family.

returned it 5, 27, 1805, with endorsement by the latter meeting. 

William Griffith was of Bethel, 171 5, but perhaps not a Friend. In 
1728, William Griffith, Jr., married Susanna Cassell, b. 9, 8, 1706, dau. ot 
Arnold and Susanna Cassell, of Philadelphia, and settled in Edgmont on the 
Kingsman tract of 135 acres. He also purchased 100 acres there from

In 1774 Joseph Robins (as he wrote his name.) was assessed in EcJo-mont

in 1774, but he appears again in 1787, with 100 acres, probably rented land 
3 horses and 6 cattle. He was one of the executors of his father-in-law! 
1796, but when or where his death occurred has not been noticed The 
following account was written by a grandson and printed several years 
ago, though without date : 

Our grandfather, on the mother's side, was named Joseph Robbins, and was, I believe a 
native of New Jersey, and was, I think, a tailor by trade. He married a lady whose name Jas 
Hoopes, of Chester or Delaware county, and resided in Edgmont, Delaware county and the 
neighborhood, for many years, but removed to New Jersey before his death. I have often 
heard him spoken of as a remarkably active man, and among other feats as such, could leap 
out of one hogshead into another. They had eleven or twelve children. I recollect the names 
of eleven (perhaps all,) as follows :-Leah, Margaret, Alice, Sarah, Jane, (our mother,) Lvdia, 
Esther, Parthenia, Abigail, Richard and Joseph; two of whom I have no recollection of liiv- 
mg seen, namely, Margaret and Alice, they removed to what was called the " backwoods " 
about the year 1800: Alice afterwards removed to Ohio. The "backwoods," at that time 
was Redstone (now Brownsville, Penna.). All of these left children, except Leah who was 
never married : their descendants are very much scattered, being residents of Philadelphia, 
Chester county, Delaware county, and Montgomery county, Pennsylvania : New Jersey Wash- 
ington city, DC, Ohio; Chicago, Illinois, and Atchison, Kansas, and perhaps eLvhere. 
I was named "Joseph" after our grandfather, and my brother was named "Robbins," our 
mother's maiden name.

, , g THE SMEDL E Y FAMIL V. 

The family record states that Edith was born Nov. 16, 1750. and she was 
said to be 83 years of ^'^g at her death, 1S33. yet her disownment by Con- 
cord Mo. Mtg., 6, 5. 1765- for marriage "by a priest," indicates that she 
was little over 14 when that event occurred. She made an acknowledg- 
ment, 10, 7, 1 80 1, and was admitted again into membership. 

John Cheyney was a resident in Middletown township, (now) Delaware 
County, Pa., as early as 1715- He died in 1722, leaving all his estate to 
his sons John and Thomas Cheyney, e.xcept ^5, which was to be paid to 
Cheyney Balderson, in England. The two sons soon after this returned to 
Eno-land, presumably to their native parish, and on Jan. 16, 1724. John 
Bellers, of London, merchant, conveyed to John Cheyney and Thomas 
Cheyney, late of Middletown in the County of Chester, but now of Upper 
Lamborne in the parish of Chipping Lamborne, county of Berks, England, 
1500 acres of land in Pennsylvania, for ^360. This land had been pur- 
chased from William Penn, perhaps as a speculation, and the owner had 
never come to setde thereon. It was located in Thornbury township, at 
and near the present Cheyney Station. The new purchasers returned to 
Pennsylvania to occupy the lands, and early in 1726 Thomas Cheyney 
married Elizabeth Hickman, the daughter of their neighbor, Benjamin 
Hickman, of Westtown, just north of the Cheyney purchase. He died in 
i7'>8 leaving two daughters, Mary, who died young, and Ann. The latter 
married Janfes Jefferis, and they with their children were living at Jeffens's 
Ford on the Brandywine, at tlie time of the Revolution. 

John Cheyney, Jr., married Nov. 3, 1730, at Christ Church, Philadelphia, 
Ann Hickman, b. "12, 14. 171 3. sister to Elizabeth Hickman, and setded on 
a part of the land in Thornbury, where he died about 1745- The Hick- 
mans were members of Concord Meeting, and were disowned for marrying 
those not members by the assistance of a minister. After John's death his 
widow made an acknowledgment and was received into membership again,

older brother, Thomas, who was an active and earnest advocate of inde- 
pendence, was credited with being somewhat of a Tory. Some of his stock 
having been taken by foraging parties for the use of the British army, then 
in possession of the cit)' of Philadc^Iphia, liis wife went boldly to the officials 
there to demand compensation, and having satisfied dunn that her husband 
was not inimical to the crown she was paid the money. In going from the 
room where she received it she passed through an entry in'^whidi stood a 
barrel of llax-seed, and hastily thrusting the money into its depdis she left 
it there temporarily, fearing she might be robbed if she attempted to carry 
it home that day. She subsequently returned and found it safe. 

In 1777 Joseph Cheyney was assessed with 150 acres of land, i horse, 2 
cattle and 3 sheep. In 1 7S7 his stock consisted of 4 horses and 8 cattle, 
young animals not being included.

Josiah Hibberd doubtless came from England, but the exact place of his 
nativity has not been discovered. He settled in Darby township, Chester 
(now Delaware) County as early as 1692, and on 9, 9, 169S, was married 
before John Blunston, Esq., to Ann Bonsall, dau. of Richard Bonsall, of 
Darby, and Mary his wife. Daniel Hibberd, possibly a brother of Josiah, 
had married, in 1697, Rachel Bonsall, a sister to Ann, but the father of the 
latter interposing some objection to the second marriage, it could not be 
accomplished in the usual way of Friends, hence before a magistrate. The 
children of Josiah and Ann were: 

John, b. n, 18, 1699 ; <^- 9. ^S, 1766 ; m. Deborah Lewis. 

Joseph, b. 11, 20, 1700; d. 6, 11, 1737; m. Elizabeth Fearne. 

Josiah, b. 7, 28, 1701; d. ii, 13, 1727-8, unmarried. 

Abraham, b. 9, 28, 1703 ; died young or unmarried.

Benmmin, b. 2, 27, 1707 ; d. about 17S5 ; m. Phebe Sharpies. 

Elizabeth, b. 12, n, 1708-9 ; d. 3, 19, 1738, unmarried. 

Sarah, b. 3, 19, 1711 ; d. 2, 24, 1795; m. Samuel Garrett (p. 172). 

Isaac, b. i, 16, 1712-3 ; d. about 1797; m. Mary Lownes. 

Ann, b. 3, 12, I 715 ; m. John Ash. 

Jacob, b. 2, 21, 1718 ; d. about 1750 ; m. Jane Garrett. 

Josiah Hibberd, senior, in addition to his land in Darby, purchased 500 
acres in Willistown, by lease and release, May 16-17, 1722, from Martha 
Barker, of London, widow of Thomas Barker, to whom a survey of 1000 
acres had been made in that township. This land he divided between his 
sons, John and Benjamin, the deed to the latter being elated Feb. 26, 17^1. 
Josiah d. 6, 16, 1744, and his widow just five years later. 

There is a tradition that Phebe Sharpies was under engagement of 
marriage to Josiah Hibberd, Jr., who at his death devised to herli token of 
his love in the form of /30, and that she invested this in a silver cup; in 
evidence of which a silver cup or tankard having the letters P. S. on the 
side, has been handed down in the line of the Josiahs to the present day. 
If the said Josiah made a will it must have been verbal and never reg- 
istered ; and if he gave her /30 it is likely that only a part of it was thus 
e.xpended. 

Benjamin Hibberd m. 2, 25, 1732, at Chester Meeting, Phebe Sharpies, 
b. II, 9, 1701-2; d. 3, 29, 1772; dau. of John and Hannah (Penncll) Sharp-

dated 6, 2, 1732, and his wife one from Chester, dated 4, 26, 1732. They 
settled in Willistown and became active members of Goshen Meeting. He 
built a brick house in i 742, to which an ad4ition of stone was afterward

house was built a few rods northerly from the old one. The children of

"TaleT Hibbard substituted an "a" in his name for the " e " used by his 
father and the others of the family, and his descendants follow his example. 
He learned the tanning business and established a tannery on his farm. 
His father -ave him so acres of the homestead, by deed of Jan. n, 1774- 
and 5 acres of another tract the day previous. In 1784 he bought his 
brother Joseph's farm, out of which the 5 acres had been taken. His father 
also devised to him about loi acres in two tracts. , , j 

William Hibbard was a farmer and tanner, in Wilhstown. and he and

complained of by Newtown Meeting, 9, 10, 1784, for marriage by a magis- 
trate, but her acknowledgment was accepted 12,17, 1784. He was perhaps 
a son of William Fawkes, of Newtown, and grandson of John and Ann 
Fawkes, from England. In 1786 Joseph Fawkes was assessed with 138 
acres of land, 3 horses and 4 cows. This was probably his mother-in-law s 
land Their residence is now the home of George W. Reece, a short dis- 
tance S W of the tavern at Newtown Square. In 1810 Jane Newlin con- 
veyed to Joseph Fawkes 26 acres, 52 perches, and another lot of 4 acres, 71 
p/rches, parts of homestead; and Joseph and wife conveyed the last to Eh

Fawkes is dated June 16. 1814, and proven Oct. 8, 1814. in which he gave

The will of Alice Fawkes is dated 11, 26, 1841, with codicils in 1846,

Meetino- was first held at his dwelling, on property belonging to Griffith 
Owen. '^ He had children, Elizabeth, Ellis, Lewis, John, Ann, William, 
Grace, Hannah, Sarah. Ellis Williams, by Mary his wife, had Robert,

Benjamin Smedley lived about two years on the farm of his uncle Thomas 
D. Smedley, but in 1829 removed to that formerly of his uncle Benjamin 
Smedley, containing 106 acres, 85 perches, mosdy in Willistown. The 
uncle conveyed it to William Hicks, April 14, 1 8 10, and the latter, with 
Abigail his wife, March 26, 181 4, to William Griffith, of Radnor, for 
$11,000. Jonathan Jones, sheriff, e.xecuted a deed for the same property 
to Benjamin Smedley, the nephew, Nov. 3, 1828, and the latter continued 
to live thereon during life. The barn was erected by his uncle, in 1804, 
but some addition was made in 1850, and the house was remodeled in 1855. 
Benjamin and Jane Smedley were exemplary members of Goshen Meeting.

Enos Smedley learned the trade of a potter with Aaron James, a neigh- 
bor, in Westtown, being his last apprentice. This was an important 
industry in that day, when but litde tinware was used, and his master, who 
died about 1822, left a valuable estate. He had learned the business with 
one Curtis, near Front and Walnut Streets, Philadelphia, and always used 
Philadelphia clay. 

In 1828 Enos Smedley succeeded Jesse Kersey at a pottery near Down- 
ino-town, but removed to West Chester the next year and established him- 
self on Gay Street, west of New, where he carried on the business success- 
fully for twenty-five years or more. He discovered the porcelain clays of 
Chester and Delaware counties, now so extensively used in the Trenton

At the early age of twelve years Reuben was sent by his father to the 
Philadelphia market to sell butter and other produce of the farm, which he 
took in what was called a light cart, in company with neighbors. While 
many of his companions were accustomed to stop at wayside taverns to 
drink, he resolutely abstained then and thereafter from this evil. He was 
required to give a strict account of his receipts, and often said in after life 
that it was a good discipline for him. Upon the death of his father he was 
placed an apprentice with Titus Chamberlin, miller at the Westtown Board- 
ing School property, with whom he removed to New Garden to complete 
his apprenticeship; during which he was allowed a short time in the winter 
to attend school. He often spoke with respect and affection of his teacher, 
Jehu Broomhall. 

He started business in a small saw and grist mill on a part of the home- 
stead, devised to him, but after marriage sold this to his brother James. It 
now belongs to Enos Baker. After this he bought a farm in Thornbury, 
and moved there in 1831. Here he built a house with stone and lumber 
taken from the farm, put on a dairy and resumed his old business of going 
to market. Ten years later he sold this farm to George Thomas and 
removed to one of 180 acres in Edgmont, adjoining Middletown, formerly 
belonging to Eli Yarnall, and one of the finest farms in Delaware County. 
This he sold to Passmore Howard in 1870. In the meantime he bought an 
adjoining farm on which his son Bennett setded at marriage. In 1855 he 
bought property on Chestnut St., West Philadelphia, and removed thither, 
continuing to sell the produce of the farms occupied by his sons Bennett 
and Davis. This Chestnut street property now belongs to the trustees 
of the Drexel Institute, which stands on the opposite side of the street. 



2 88 THE SMEDLEY FAMILY. 

After brief residences on Cherry street and on Gray's Lane he removed to 
his final home, 329 N. 40th street, where he Uved for nineteen years. In 
1884, while still enjoying good health, he and his wife celebrated the 60th 
anniversary of their marriage, at which she wore her wedding dress, while 
some of their original company were also present. Rachel Yarnall was 
educated at Westtown Boarding School, and she, with her husband and 
family, were members of the Race street branch of the Society of Friends. 
In 1S87 Reuben was stricken with paralysis, from which he never recovered.

was elected a director of the Bank of Chester Co. in 1 839, in which position 
he was succeeded by his son about 1852. The marble from which the bank 
was built was procured from his quarries. From obituary notices the fol- 
lowing- summary is taken : 

The deceased was one of our oldest and most energetic citizens; was in 
West Chester only a week previous to his death, attending actively to his 
business affairs. He died from an attack of congestion of the lungs, and 
was buried at Friends' Meeting House, Downingtown, attended by a very 
laroe concourse of friends and relations. Being in liberal circumstances he 
was enabled to seek his happiness in good works and acts of public benefi- 
cence. He sought neither public applause nor positions of notoriety, but 
for many years was a valuable director in the Bank of Chester County. 
In whatever position he was placed his judgment was controlled by enlight- 
ened principles. He neglected no political duty which the patriotic citizen 
owes his country, was a constant reader of the public journals, and on all 
measures of National or State policy his opinions were firm and enlight- 
ened. He was a friend of education, public improvements and of the gen- 
eral welfare of the great family of man.

homestead erected about 1782, with the mills and 55 acres of land, beside 
88 acres of woodland ; also 370 acres on Chest Creek, Cambria Co.. sur- 
veyed in the name of Samuel Bond. Owing to his death occurring before 
that of his father, the devise was transferred to his son, Richard M. Thomas. 
The following is taken from an obituary notice: 

About a month ago Mr. Thomas went into his mill to give some directions, when, stooping 
down, he received an accidental blow over the left eye from a stick, which was not at the time 
felt to be very severe, nor did it create much uneasiness or alarm. Being in the city some 
days afterward he fell suddenly from his chair, but recovered almost immediately, and for two 
weeks attended to business as usual ; not, however, without increasing complaint of a painful 
sensation in the head. About a fortnight since he became sensibly and dangerously ill, the 
brain being evidently affected. The best medical skill was called in, but was e.xercised almost 
hopelessly; and he soon fell into a lethargic state, in which he continued until pulsation 
ceased. Thus, from a state of perfect health, from the midst of life and usefulness, one of our

most valued citizens is suddenly and fortuitously taken from us. Mr. Thomas has been, for 
the last ten years, President of the Chester County Bank. The eminently prosperous state 
of that institution speaks n,ore distinctly than the most labored eulogy his merits. Under his 
liberal and intelligent administration of its affairs, aided, certainly, by able assistants, the stock 
has risen to an hundred per cent, above par, a thing unprecedented, we believe, in the United 
States It was the object of his ambition to render the institution useful and prosperous To 
this end he devoted himself with untiring zeal. With a mind remarkably clear, quick and 
practical, and directed to that object, we may be allowed to say (if uninterrupted and extra- 
ordinary success will warrant the assertion) that he was one of the ablest financiers in the 
State All the duties in life of son, husband, father, brother and fnend were fulfilled by Mr. 
Thomas in an exemplary manner ; in the domestic circle he was beloved, as m public life he 
was universally esteemed. On First-day his remains were removed to Friends Lury.ng-ground 
at Downingtown; near an hundred carriages and more than an hundred horsemen, notwith- 
standing the inclemency of the day, accompanying them to their place of final repose.

Chester; thence, 5, 25, 17S9, to Darby, and 7, 3, 1794, to Uwchlan. Early

tile pursuits in the city, and with success. 

The author of " Clovercroft Chronicles," a granddaughter of a sister to 
William Ashbridge, gives some pleasant reminiscences: 

My grandmother's brother and sister who survived her kept up their affectionate intercourse 
with her children as before. It was an event of some importance when Uncle Cleorge and 
Aunt Rachel Ashbridge drove down from the Valley in their roomy carriage, with colored 
coachman, to make a circuit among their relations at the old place. Chestnut Bank, and at 
Ashley Farm. On some fine summer morning our aunt Thomazine Ashbridge would drive out 
in handsome style from her home,— in Arch Street, near Ninth, Philadelphia,— with her -on 
William or Richard and her daughters Mary and Jane, to spend a dav or more among their 
country cousins. 

I seem still to have before me my Aunt Susan Fairlamb's lively eye and slight figure 
enveloped in brown fur cape and mufi of ample size. And Aunt Jane Downing always bro'ught 
with her an atmosphere of spirited sociability; her Friends' costume of silk gown, clear cap 
and kerchief relieved of ail stiffness by the touch of her own individuality.

William A. Thomas learned the milling business in his father's mill, and 

at the acre of 17 years rented a mill on Beaver Creek in his own name. 

With George Valentine and brothers he went to Maryland and started the 

Enterprise Iron Works, but this not succeeding they returned to Chester 

Co. The Valentines started a little foundry or cupola on property adjoin- 

ino the mill of Jacob Edge, then owned by the Valentines and since by 

Joseph M. Downing. About 181 7 the Valentines and W. A. Thomas went 

to Bellefonte and purchased the Dunlap property; the last named being 

the capitalist and putting about $15,000 in it. They commenced making 

charcoal iron under the firm since widely known as Valentines & Thomas, 

and accumulated large fortunes. It was wild, thinly setded backwoods 

country when they went there, and the product of their manufacture had to 

be sent to market in arks or flat boats down the Bald Eagle to where Lock 

Haven now stands, on the west branch of the Susquehanna, and then 

floated down to Columbia or Port Deposit. They also had a good trade 

west to Pittsburg and Louisville, Ky., where one of the firm resided or had 

an agency. The History of Centre and Clinton Counties, by the late John 

Blair Linn, of Bellefonte, says: 

"Mr. Thomas was so variously connected with the business interests

DOWNINGTOWN MEETING. 

At Uwchlan Monthly Meeting, 5, 6, 1784: "Some Friends in the Valley 
proposing the holding an afternoon Meeting at the School-house near Mill- 
town, it is referred for further Consideration at next Meeting." 

6, 10. 1784: "The Proposal of holding an Afternoon Meeting in the 
Schoolhouse at Milltown coming under Consideration, after being weightily 
attended to, it is allowed of to be held on the First First day of the wel^k in 
every Month during the summer season (except the present Month to be 
on the Second First day) ; to begin at the 4th Hour Afternoon ; and Joshua 
Baldwm, Isaac Jacobs, Evan Jones, William Lightfoot, W^'lliam Cooper 
Isaiah Kirk, Robert Hatton, Reuben John. George Thomas and John Butler 
(Rachel John, Hannah Milhous, Mary Lightfoot, Ann Milhous, Susanna 
Jones, Martha Whelen, Mary Baldwin, Rebeckah Hilles and Grace Lewis) 
are appointed to attend as often as they conveniendy can, and report their 
sense of the service of said Meeting at the Close of the Season." 

In the years 1785-89, a meeting was allowed twice a month in the after- 
noon, during the summer. In 1795 and 1798 similar meetings were held, 
and m 1800 an earnest effort was made to establish a permanent meeting 
at Downings Town, but this met with opposition. A renewed effort in 
1 80 1 was also unsuccessful, and in 1802 the matter was referred to the 
Quarterly Meedng, which, by a committee, recommended the compromise 
of an indulged meedng instead of a permanent one, to be held bodi winter 
and summer. This was continued under care of committees imtil 

I, 9. 1806: "Jehu Roberts, on behalf of friends composing the meedng 
at Downing Town informs that they, on conferring together, agreed to 
request the establishment of diat meeting ; which on being attendee! to, & a 
general concurrence therewith expressed, is directed to the ensuing quar- 
terly Meedng." A minute of the Quarterly Meetino- was producecl 7, 10,

1806, approving of the establishment of the meeting, "to be held on the first 
and fourth days of the week, to begin at eleven." 

12, 8, 1808: "This meeting being informed by friends composing Down- 
ing Town meeting that upon a conference being had amongst themselves 
they had agreed to propose Jesse Kersey, Joseph R. Downing, John R. 
Thomas & Richard Thomas Ju'-. as Trustees to hold the Lot of ground & 
premises upon which their meeting House is built, for the use of the friends 
composing said meeting ; which being considered is approved, & the above 
named friends are directed to receive a Deed for the said Lot of ground 
with the appurtenances, & hold the same for the uses afforesaid ; and m 
order that the trust shall be clearly defined it will be expected that the said 
friends, after receiving the Deed afibresaid, will execute an instrument 
of Writing, declaring the uses for which the Estate is held: the said Deed 
and declaration of Trust to be lodged amongst this monthly meeting's 

papers." 

A preparative meeting was established here in the 4th month, 181 1, and 
fqr several years Uwchlan Mo. Mtg. has been mostly held at this house, 
wiiich stands by the Lancaster Pike, at the eastern end of the town, just 
outside of the borough limits. Joseph R. Downing (No. 97,) sat at the head 
of the meeting for several years, and it may be claimed that the majority of 
the influential members have been descendants of the Smedleys.

schools, in their localities, supplied the principal part of the education for

Abraham Sharpless Valentine was a member of the original firm of Val- 
entine Ironworks at Bellefonte, Pa., in 1815, and revolutionized the ore 
mining industries of the country by inventing the ore-washing machine, 
since in general use. 

He was possessed of great business ability and foresight, and it was due 
largely to his inventions and improvements that the Valentine charcoal iron 
achieved its widespread reputation. 

At the outbreak of the War of the Rebellion he was one of the liberal 
contributors to a subscription for the support of the soldiers' families, and 
his sons Abram S., Jr., and Bond were in the service for a time. 

In the year 1832 the Valentine brothers, George, Bond, Abraham, 
Reuben and their partner, W. A. Thomas, erected at their own expense, 
upon their own land, a meeting house for the use of Friends. The Society 
has flourished uninterruptedly since then and the worshippers include up- 
wards of fifteen families, largely composed of the descendants of those who 
established it. 

A writer says: "The rise of the Friends' Meeting House seems worthy 
of notice. It was established by five men, who, making no especial pro- 
fession of religion, yet yielded to a simple apprehension of duty and built a 
house for the worship of God. All of them became faithful, humble fol- 
lowers of the Lord Jesus, and to one of them. Bond Valentine, was com- 
mitted the ministry of the Gospel of Christ." 

The meeting house has been undergoing repairs and restoradon to the 
original idea, and the stone porch and steps are made like the first one.

In 1797 he removed to Concord and connected himself with the Episcopal 
Church, in which he frequently officiated as lay reader and exhorter, but in 
1802 he was baptized as a member of the Brandywine Baptist Church, and 
in 1 81 2 was licensed to preach. In 1819 he became pastor of the Vincent 
Baptist Church, where he labored faithfully and acceptably till 1844, when 
owing to infirmities he retired. 

Robert and Rachel Moore settled on land which belonged to her father, 
of which she obtained about 89 acres, and in 1859 they purchased the home- 
stead of her father, containing 126 acres, where their son Gideon now re- 
sides. Their own home now belongs to the family of their son Leonard,

Among the papers of the youngest son the following biographical sketch 
appears : 

Samuel L. Smediey, (second mature) son of William and Deborah Smediey, was born the 
9thday of the 4th month, A. D. 1798, in Middletown township, Delaware county, Pennsylvania, 
m the house now (1S63) occupied by his brother William. This house is situated on the west 
side of the road leading from the Chester Road, near the Black Horse hotel to the Rose Tree 
hotel and Springfield Meeting-house, about one hundred yards east of the junction. Although 
a large portion of the farm was part of the original purchase by his ancestor, from William 
Penn, the house itself is erected on a narrow strip of 6 acres adjoining, which was purchased 
by George bmedley from John Edwards in the year 1742. The site is one of great elevation, 
apparently higher than any other in the vicinity, and commanding a magnificent view of the 
surrounding country. The Delaware River, seven miles to the southward, is distinctly visible, 
and vessels may be seen passing up and down upon it; while beyond the level fields of New 
Jersey, gent y rising as they recede from the river, may be traced for many miles, until their 
hazy imit blends with the horizon. The northeastern view extends beyond Newtown Square, 
and the northwestern to the extreme limits of Thornhury. 

The facilities for obtaining a thorough schooling were very much less at that day than what 

he present generation enjoys ; nor was it customary or thought necessary to give very much 

attention thereto. The young of both sexes, of an age sufficient to make themselves useful,

school days were limited to a few months in the winter season. Such were the opportunities 
w..ich fell to his lot, and although there is abundant evidence of his studious disposition and 
aptness at learning, yet in consequence of the long time which elapsed from one school season 
to another, when compared with the shortness of the term devoted to study, his progre« does 
not appear to have been unusually rapid. 

From his fourteenth to his eighteenth year his studies were of the usual course from decimal

fractions to the completion of (Gummere's?) surveying. A part of that time he attended at a 
log school-house situated on his father's premises, at the jimction of the roads before men- 
tioned, and a part of the time at the Blue Hill school, under the tuition of Thomas Megarge 
and still another part at the Middletown Friends' school, near the meeting-house. ' 

His common school education closed about the time of his completing his eighteenth year 
but the thirst for knowledge which he had by this time acquired, induced him to devise means 
for Its gratification. His father had a good sized farm of about 277 acres, and by industry was 
making a comfortable living for his family, besides directing his efforts toward the purchase 
of a farm for each of his four sons. His son George, being less robust than the others, was 
sent to Ennion Cook's boarding school (at the Rrandywine battle-ground) to acquire a more 
thorough education; but Samuel being considered strong enough to grapple with the world it 
was not thought necessary to grant him that privilege ; so he set himself to work and by his 
energies soon earned sufficient money to secure himself a term at Joseph C. Strode's boarding 
school, near West Chester, Pa., a very popular institution at that day. He there soon gave 
evidence of his industry and application in the enthusiasm with which he pursued his studies. 
His genial disposition and correct deportment won for him the warm attachment of his pre- 
ceptor, who, with his family, took great interest in his welfare and advancement. During the 
term he made rapid progress in his studies, particularly in mathematics, in which he had suc- 
ceeded in calculating a number of eclipses, and also in solving many abstruse problems in 
algebra and geometry. After leaving the school he and his preceptor frequently enjoyed 
themselves in communicating to each other such mathematical questions as required deep 
thought for their solution. 

The vocation of a teacher offering opportunity for studv and improvement, he adopted it 
and commenced ij mo. 17th, 181 7, at the school-house adjoining the Friends' old meeting- 
house, near his native place. Here he continued during the winter. On the 15th of the 6th 
month, 1S19 (at the age of 21), he took charge of the school near the "Yellow House," now 
called Thorntonville, in Thornbury, Delaware county. He commenced with fifty-four scholars, 
averaging thirty-seven daily for three months ; having the Brintons, ]\rercers, Speakmans, Dil- 
worths, etc., in that neighborhood for his patrons. While he remained here he acquired quite 
a reputation for teaching, and won the affection of his pupils and the confidence of the com- 
munity, which the many years that have since elapsed have not obliterated. His services were 
frequently called into requisition in surveying, writing deeds, and making out various docu- 
ments for persons in the neighborhood. Nor did he neglect opportunities for adding to his 
store of knowledge and thus improving his mind. He, with several others, securing the in- 
struction of a teacher, devoted considerable time to the study of the French language, in which 
he became quite proficient. 

A diary which he kept for a part of the time gives evidence of his Christian virtues and of his 
watchfulness and endeavor to walk consistently and void of offence towards God and man 
fce.ng naturally of a hvely and affable turn of mind he was induced frequendv to deny himself 
for fear of being led into frivolity, and often practiced reflection in retirement for the purpose 
of strengthening his mmd and gaining power over his own will, so that he might thereby be- 
come the better qualified to control others and set them an example worthy of imitation. ' He 
adhered to the principles and practices of the Society of Friends, of wliich he was a faithful 
member,-not from habit, but from heartfelt conviction of the truth of their doctrines. His 
school was closed on such days as were fixed for disciplinary meetings of the society, nor did 
he at any time of his life deviate from the plainness of dress and address which is one of their 
marked characteristics.

His father having purchased from Samuel Lewis a farm of nearly one hundred acres in Edg- 
mont, m the 4th month 1822, and requiring the attention and assistance of his sons he gave 
up his school m Thornbury the 6th of 3d month 1823, having been engaged there nearly four 
years. For the greater part of that time he resided with Thomas Peirce, a prominent man in 
the neighborhood. The compensation to teachers at that time, being y/. cents per day for 
each scholar, amounted in his school to about S1.30 per day, or thirty-two dollars per month • 
a sum which gave but poor encouragement to a man of domestic inclinations, desirous of 
settling down in life. He appears at this time to have given up all desire for continuing the 
vocation and having returned to his old home he there diligently employed himself upon the 
farm and assisted m conducting the new one in Edgmont, and in preparing for the erection of 
buildings upon it, as this portion of the place was entirely without them. 

This gave employment for the summer season, but he with a number of his friends of literary 
inclinations concluded, for the winter months, to have a debating and literary society for their 
profit and amusement; and accordingly, with his brothers George and Jacob, Homer Eichus 
Joseph Edwards, Mmshall Painter, Joseph Plankinton, Abm. R. Temple, Samuel Hibberd foel 
Edwards, Caleb Peirce, Joseph Worrall, Nathaniel Vernon, and perhaps a few others met to- 
gether and on 12 mo. 24th, 1823, adopted a constitution, naming themselves the Middletown 
Literary Association. He was elected recorder, and several times was chairman of the associ- 
ation. Many of the essays contributed are well written,— Samuel's writings over the signature 
"Hah" frequently taking the prize. As he was gifted with a rhyming inclination which he 
had been m the habit of exercising, several of his contributions to the society were in poetry • 
some of them being quite meritorious. This society remained in existence for several years' 
and most probably was the first established in the county of that class, which has since become 
so numerous and successful. 

In the beginning of the year 1826, a vacancy having occurred among the teachers at West- 
town Boarding School, application from some of the committee was made to Samuel Smedley 
to supply the place, but having at that time a prospect of marriage he declined, but recom- 
mended to them his intimate friend, Davis Reece, who received the appointment and remained 
there very acceptably engaged for more than thirty years. 

Samuel L. Smedley settled at marriage on the Edgmont farm, for which 
he received a deed from his father, 4, 2, 1832. He was appointed assistant 
clerk of the monthly meeting, 8, 28, 1826, and clerk, 10, 2, 1829 in which 
position he served until 8, 26, 1833. He made a verbal will, which appears 
thus on the records : 

Samuel L. Smedley, his will by word of mouth, made and declared by him 
on the 1 8th day of the loth month 1834, in the presence of us who 'have 
hereunto subscribed our names as witnesses hereto: "Take notice that my 
nuncupative will is, I give to my beloved wife all the goods and chatties 
that she brought with her, and a horse : there is the children : I give her all 
to bring up the dear children, to have as long as she remains my widow." 
(Signed by) Isaac Yarnall, Israel YArxNALL,

George Sh.vw, father of Sarah Truman, was a Scotchman, born at Craig- 
toun, near Glasgow, parish of Down, Scotland. His father, Alexander 
Shaw, was a blacksmith, and is said to have worked in the shop where 
Watts' engine was built. George Shaw was a cabinet-maker and came to 
America about the beginning of the Revolution, and at the battle of Ger- 
mantown so exposed himself in cooperating with the Americans as to im- 
pair his health and eventually cause his death from consumption. He was 
a strict Presbyterian, and while thinking Friends were a good moral people,

did not hesitate to say their salvation was impossible; nevertheless, on his 
death bed was so far convinced as to consent to his widow eoingf amonof 
Friends if she so desired. After the Revolution he sent for his brothers 
and sisters, whose descendants are numerous in Western Pennsylvania. 
His wife, Mary Toplin, was the daughter of David Toplin, who with his 
family emigrated from Germany and settled in Virginia, and his mill being 
swept away by a freshet, they came to Philadelphia, where he and his wife 
died soon after, leaving very little means. Mary Toplin found a home in 
the family of Isaac and Sarah Parrish, and became very much attached to 
them. The health of the wife being somewhat impaired after the birth of 
her son Joseph (who became an eminent physician) he was placed with 
Mary Shaw to nurse, along with her own first-born. 

Joseph M. Truman, when young, attended the school of Benjamin Cath- 
rall, on Mulberry (now Arch) Street, which prepared him for early entering 
his father's shop to learn tin-plate working; and being of an enquiring mind 
and having a good memory, he read considerably in scientific and mechanical 
works, and was well versed in Chaptall's chemistry. Soon after reaching 
his majority he joined the Harmony Fire Co., and for some years was quite 
active; being at his death the senior honorary member. In 1816 he planned 
an engine which the company ordered built by Perkins & Jones at a cost of 
$900, and when the company became members of the Fire Association, in 
1S20, Joseph Truman and Benjamin C. Parvin were chosen delegates. He 
took an active interest in other bodies; was one of the earliest members of 
the Franklin Institute, and in 18 iS united with the Pennsylvania Abolition 
Society, in which his grandfather, Joseph Moore, had been so useful. 
When the more modern movement of Wm. Lloyd Garrison was started he 
engaged in it with much earnestness; was president of one of the societies 
about 1834, and his wife was one of the original members of the Female 
Anti-Slavery Society. He was chosen a manager of the Pennsylvania Hall 
when its erection was decided upon, and so continued till its affairs were 
settled — it having been burned by a pro-slavery mob. Although a great 
admirer of Henry Clay's financial policy, yet in 1844 he found he could not 
support him — a slaveholder, and therefore voted for Birney and Morris, 
and continued on the side of freedom till his death. He as well as others 
of the family had an inventive talent. He originated a peculiar shaped 
nail, extensively used by tin-plate workers, and in 1831 took out a patent 
for leaded tin for roofing purposes, but directly after it was announced 
British manufacturers shipped leaded sheets at a greatly reduced price. 
He and his brother George, who had become his partner, patented a lamp,

the original of the solar lamp, which had a very extensive sale about 
1S40-50. They being also associated in the expressing and refining of oils 
and lard, experimented on cotton seed, producing an oil sweet and nice as 
olive oil, and had it on exhibition at the Franklin Institute's exhibit; about 
which time the Free Trade convention met in Philadelphia, and Chief Jus- 
tice Marshall and other southerners attending were elated over the dis- 
cover)', and it was quickly heralded through the South. A company was 
projected in Camden, N. J., and a lawyer named Foxall dispatched to make 
arrangements for a supply of the seed, but his report was that while hitherto 
the seed had been considered a nuisance it could not now be purchased at 
any reasonable price for manufacturing. One of the bottles of oil was 
stolen from the exhibition and deposited in the Patent Office, evidently to 
prevent the issuance of a patent. Numerous inquiries were made as to the 
process of manufacture, but as no compensation was offered the secret w'as 
not divulged. 

Joseph M. Truman served as a member of the Guardians of the Poor, the 
board having charge of the almshouse as well as the out-door relief. When 
residing in Spring Garden he was elected by the Whig party to fill an un- 
expired term in its board of commissioners.

Jeffrey Truman learned the business of a silversmith, and in 18 19 re- 
moved to Waynesville, Ohio, where he taught school for several years and 
then engaged in merchandizing ; moved his store to Bellbrook and next to 
Transylvania, where he engaged in tavernkeeping. In 1834 he removed to 
Franklin, O., where he followed silversmithing for three years ; then re- 
turned to Transylvania, where he laid out a town on some land he had 
purchased, but when the railroad was built on the other side of the Little 
Miami it took the town across the river to Spring Valley. At intervals he 
kept the tavern which he owned, worked at his trade and taught school. In 
1848-9 he was a paymaster in the army and aided in settling claims arising 
out of the Mexican War. He lost his membership with Friends by his 
marriage ; was a Democrat in politics at the time of his death, but an anti- 
slavery man, as well as a strong advocate of temperance. He attended a 
course of medical lectures at the Transylvania University, Lexington, Ky., 
and received a medical diploma, but never practiced much. He was named 
for Jeffrey Smedley, but did not use the middle name. 

JosiAH Elam was born in Culpepper Co., Va., 1753; was a soldier in the 
Revolution, after which he removed to Kentucky, where he married Sarah 
A. Porter. During the troubles with the Indians he was engaged in several 
expeditions against those of the Miami Valley and was captain of a com- 
pany under Gen. St. Clair. On one of these expeditions he selected 1000 
acres of land on Ca:'sar's Creek, and in 1802 removed his family to this 
place, where his daughter Jane was born, about two and a half miles east 
of Spring Valley, Greene Co., O. She was the last survivor of five brothers 
and five sisters.

George Truman, at the age of fifteen, was apprenticed to William 
Garrigues to learn the carpenter trade, and when of age joined with a num- 
ber of Friends to form a settlement on the borders of Lake Ontario, N. Y., 
but returned to Philadelphia two years later. Subsequently he carried on 
his trade in New York City, but his health there was not good, and about 
1826 he had charge of the Friends' school at Abington, Pa. He was 
acknowledged as a minister by Green Street Monthly Meeting, Phila., 10 
mo., 1829, after which he made many religious journeys, including his inter- 
esting visit with John Jackson to the West India islands. His business 
engagements between 1828 and 1S37 included a partnership with his 
brother Joseph in the manufacture and refining of oils, and subsequently in 
tin-plate working and roofing. About 1837 he studied dentistry, and subse- 
quendy began the practice of that profession, and about 1 845 he graduated 
as a physician. A memorial of him, issued by Philadelphia Monthly Meet- 
ing, says: "His practice as a physician — a profession which he entered 
about the middle period of his life — introduced him to the homes of many 
of the poor and lowly, to whom his services were freely rendered, and to 
these he was especially a ministering spirit, both to their physical and 
spiritual necessities. His intercourse with these tended to broaden and 
liberalize his views and sympathies, and led him often to the acknowledg- 
ment that 'in every nation, he that feareth God and worketh righteousness 
is accepted with Him. ' "

Joseph Plankinton wrote as follows: Jesse Plankinton, when married, be- 
came a resident of Concord, Delaware county, where I was born. He 
afterwards removed to Brandywine Hundred, in the State of Delaware, near 
the line of Delaware county, where my brother Robbins was born. Here I 
digress to relate an incident: When our father removed to the State of 
Delaware he was in want of a barn on his place, and his brother Samuel, 
being a carpenter, was employed to build one for him. He (Samuel) had 
an apprentice at the time, of about 18 or 19 years of age, a very eccentric 
young man, and withal a genius of a peculiar character, who composed a 
number of verses which purported to describe the place, the people, and 
their manners, customs, &c., only one whole one of which I remember, 
which was : 

"They would gear up a bull and an old broken cart, 
And with a quarter of wood to town they would start, 
Make sale of the wood, then home they would come, 
With a quarter of flour and a gallon of rum."

mother walked to Philadelphia to get pay for the stock taken by the British 
army, he taking along some furs he had trapped. A person pretended to 
purchase them, and having gotten them into his hands tried to entice Jesse 
on a boat to get the money. The latter believed it a scheme to press him 
into service of the British, and turning to a boy of his own age said, "Here 
my little man, hold my coat while I fight this man." He got his furs back, 
so says tradition. Afterward, when a young man, he was hunting in Vir- 
ginia and became lost. As a protection from wild beasts he made a fire at

John Grubb was among those who appear to have come over from Eng- 
land, as New Jersey colonists, and is supposed to have been a brother to 
Henry Grubb, of Burlington and a son of Henry and Wellmet or Willmot 
Grubb, of Stoke Climsland, Cornwall, who suffered persecution with other 
Quakers, in 1663. John Grubb, with his wife, Frances, .soon located on the 
western side of the Delaware, prior to the arrival of William l\nn, and be- 
came the owner of lands both above and below the present circular line of 



382 THE SMEDLEY FAMILY. 

Delaware. He was a tanner as well as farmer, and died in 1708, leaving 
children, Emanuel, John, Charity, Phebe, Joseph, Henry, Nathaniel and 
Peter, of whom the last was the owner and developer of the Cornwall iron 
mines and furnaces, in Pennsylvania. Frances Grubb, widow, appears to 
have married Richard Buffington, the head of that family in Penna. 

Emanuel Grubb, b. July 19, 1682 ; d. Aug. 9 or 10, 1767 ; m. in i7o8(?), 
Ann Hedge Cock, b. Sept. 27, 1691 ; d. Jan. 24, 1772 ; by whom he had 
children, John, Edith, Joseph, Thomas, Henry, Frances, Nicholas, James, 
Benjamin, Emanuel, Peter and Ann. The following obituary was pub- 
lished in the Philadelphia papers of the day : 

On the loth instant, at Brandywine Hundred, in New Castle county, died Emanuel Grubb, 
in the 86th Year of his Age, and the next Day was Interred in St. Martin's Churchyard, at 
Lower Chichester, in Chester County, attended by a large Number of his Relations Neighbours 
and Acquaintances. He was born in a Cave, by the side of Delaware River, not far distant 
from where he always lived, and died, and was the first Child born of English Parents in this 
Province. His Constitution was remarkably healthy during his whole Life, having never been 
afflicted with any Sickness till a few Days before his Death. His strength and Activity were 
surprising to a Man of his Age ; he could mount and ride a Horse with as much Dexterity as 
a Lad of Twenty. A few Months ago he rode from his own House to this City, and back 
again in one Day, which is upwards of 40 Miles. His Memory was equally surprising, and not 
in the least impaired till his Death ; he could remember Transactions of a late Date equally 
well with those which happened in his younger Days. He was exceeding temperate in his 
Living, seldom making use of Spirituous Liquors ; and for his friendly Disposition was highly 
esteemed by all that knew him. This instance, among many, is a Proof of the Longevity of 
People born here. 

The claim of being the "first born " appears not well founded. Emanuel 
Grubb, the younger, b. Dec. 10, 1729; d. Aug. 8, 1799 ; m. Aug. 16, 1751, 
Ann Ford, b. Oct. i, 1735; d. Aug. 13, 1803; dau. of William and Ann 
Ford, and had children, Benjamin, Susannah, Joseph, Thomas, Peter, James, 
Nicholas and William F. Grubb.

Rodney, a Signer of the Declaration of Independence from Delaware ; at 
Wilmington he held the office of alderman in 1832; was mayor for 12 
years and postmaster for 21 years, till the time of his death. He was one 
of the oldest Masons in the State of Delaware ; a man highly respected

Gardiner, in Newtown. In 1836 the new school of Homoeopathy was 
brought to his attention and after a careful examination he became a con- 
vert to its doctrines. His health failing under a large and laborious prac- 
tice he relinquished this, in 1838, to his former preceptor, Dr. Erwin, and 
removed for a brief period to Maryland; by which change his vigor was re- 
stored, and in 1839 he located as a physician in Philadelphia, where he soon 
acquired a large practice. He was one of the founders of the Homoeo- 
pathic Medical College, in 1848, and was chosen to fill the chair of Obstet- 
rics and the Diseases of Women and Children; afterward that of Materia 
Medica and Therapeutics, besides being dean of the faculty from 1848 to 
1 85 1. In 1868 he was elected president of the State Medical Society. 
The last labor of his life was the preparation of a history of Homoeopathy

worker for temperance and the anti-slavery cause, as well as a preacher 
among Friends. Hannah Simmons was the daughter of Henry Simmons 
and Rachel Preston, the latter being a preacher for more than sixty years. 

Robert C. Smedley worked on his father's farm till 21; then taught 
school in Newtown nearly three years, during which time he began to study 
medicine with Dr. John P. Lewis, of the allopathic system. He also taught 
a winter in E. Goshen and another at Grove, in W. Whiteland. Before 
entering college he read works on hydropathy and homoeopathy, and being 
impressed with the truth of the latter gave it his especial attention, grad- 
uating from the Homoeopathic Medical College, Philadelphia, March, 1S60. 
He settled at Oxford, Chester Co., in May, and steadily gained a large prac- 
tice, but preferring West Chester as a permanent residence removed to this 
place in 1863. Here he gained a large and respectable practice. He had 
purchased the homestead in Willistown, together with adjoining lands, 
making in all about 102 acres, which he sold in 1863 to J. Ellwood Worrall, 
of Nether Providence. He subsequently purchased real estate in West 
Chester, and his last residence was on the east side of Church Street, near 
the Mansion House hotel. He left in manuscript a history of the Under- 
ground Railroad in Chester and the neighboring counties, a work of much 
interest and research, which was published a few months after his death in 
a volume of over 400 pages. 

Esther Kent was engaged for several years in teaching and in writing for 
the press — chiefly poetry. In 1866, after her marriage, she was induced, by

486 THE SMEDLEY FAMILY. 

Dr. William M. Brinton was graduated from Jefferson Medical College, 
Phila., March, 1875, and settled at Sharpsburg, where he became the leading 
physician for the borough and surrounding country. At the time of his death 
he was president of the Allegheny Co. Medical Society, the youngest person who 
ever held that position. He was of striking personal appearance, fully six feet 
in height, perfectly proportioned and weighing about 220 pounds, with a full 
beard, darker in color than his hair, which was inclined to curl. A Republican 
in politics, he was frequently elected a member of council and of the board of 
school directors. He was a man of advanced ideas, practical in his views, 
aggressive on the lines of progress, of sterling honesty, and had a high regard 
for the ethics of his profession. Before his death he gave the sum of $1000, of 
which the interest is to be used annually to purchase a set of surgical instru- 
ments for the student making the best record in surgery at the Western Uni- 
versity, Pittsburgh. In religious convictions he was much in sympathy with the 
Quakerism of his ancestors, but he was neither bigoted nor intolerant as to 
other sects. His death was caused by typhoid fever.

nated and secured the passage of an act establishing the State Board of 
Agriculture, a measure which has perhaps done more than any other to 
raise the standard of the farming interests. He was aijpointcd by Gov. 
Hartranft one of the three members of the board, and reappointed by the 
succeeding governors, Hoyt, Pattison (twice) and Hastings, after which this 
body gave place to the Department of Agriculture, which became a part of 
the political machinery of the State. Dr. Edge was also mainly responsible 
for the passage of an act to prevent fraud in the sale of butter and cheese. 
In the line of travel he has crossed the American continent and visited 
Europe; is a member of the Chester County Medical Society and has rep- 
resented it in State and national associations ; was commissioned a notary 
public by Gov. Pattison, which office he still holds, and succeeded the late 
Abraham Gibbons as president of the Mutual Fire Ins. Co., of Chester Co. 
He has been prominently identified with the Prohibition party for several 
years.

Dr. George Thomas was graduated from die University of Pcnna. about 
1830, after which he studied a few years in Paris, yet \v\ never practiced 
medicine, devoting his time and attention to farming and the cultivation of 
rare trees and flowers. He inherited the homestead of his father and 
grandfather, on the Lancaster Pike, and succeeded his father as director of 
the Bank ot Chester County, from which position he resigned in 1870, and 
was in turn succeeded by his eldest son. While not a [)olitician, he took an 
active interest in public affairs. His death was caused by heart disease, in 
which the lungs finally became involveti. His funeral was a very large one, 
there being over si.xty carriages in the procession. At the residence a very 
appropriate address was made by his kinsman, Ivev. William Ikill, and at 
the graveyard by Rev. Dr. Collier, of Downingtown. An obituary notice 
contains this language : " It was his delight to relieve distress, and the 
quiet, unostentatious manner in which he did his deeds of charity showed 
that he was prompted by nobler aspirations than the praises of his fellow- 
men. The poor for miles arountl will have just cause to mourn his loss. 
His beautiful home was surrounded with magnificent old trees, many of 
them coexistent with the house itself, which was built more than a century 
ago, and rare exotics filled his greenhouses or adorned his lawns ; while his 
library was stocked with a rare collection of valuable scientific and classical 
works, which marked him as a man of more than ordinary learning and cul- 
ture. He was generous to a fault, and his sociable qualities endeared him 
to a sorrowing community." Issue :

arose from an examination of the Sharpless Genealogy, published in 1887. 
and from which family he is descended. Selecting the name of Lydia B. 
Jones, of Penn, Cass Co., Mich., a distant relative, of whom he had no pre- 
vious knowledge, he addressed a letter to her, and this led to an interchange 
of visits, by which he found a colony of living and loving relatives in that 
distant State. Issue:

In 1877 he entered the office of Samuel L. Smedley, Chief Engineer and Sur- 
veyor, and in 1880 was chosen surveyor and regulator for the Tenth Survey 
District of the City. On Feb. i, 1892, he was appointed by the Director of 
Pulilic Works, James H. Windrim, as principal assistant to Samuel L. Smedley, 
whose health had failed him, and this was followed by the position of Acting 
Chief, May i, 1892, and of Chief, Feb. i, 1893. It may be remarkerl tliat 
these successive advances have been based on merit alone and not upon politi- 
cal influence. Since his incumbency he has had the sujiervision, not only of 
the greatly increased volume of public improvement, but also of some of the 
most expensive works ever undertaken by the City, including the " Reading 
Subway," costing nearly six millions, the widening of Delaware Avenue and the 
erection of bridges over the Schuylkill. 

He is a member and treasurer of Frankford Meeting of Friends, and one

II, 18, 1864 ; dau. of David S. ISrown and Catharine P. Morton, of 754 X. 40th 
St., Phila. Her father was the son of John and Mar>- Thornton I'.rown and was 
born at Dover, N. H., 5, 16, 1827. For many years he resided at Haddington, 
Phila., where he was a successful woolen manufacturer, but about 1 884 removed 
to 754 N. 40th St. Catharine P. Morton was the dau. of John S. Morton, of 
Morton, Del. Co. (and Susanna Crosby), son of Major Sketchley Morton, son 
of John Morton, the Signer of the Declaration of Independence. 

Samuel L. was educated at Westtown Boarding School, and on 4, i, 1SS2, 
entered the office of his uncle Samuel L. Smedley, then Chief l-ingineer and 
Surveyor of Philadelphia, in the new city hall, then in course of erection. The 
profession of civil engineering, though congenial, was given up at the end of a 
year, and he engaged in the manufacture of wall-paper at Hancock and Putnam 
Sts., which at first was unsuccessful, but the firm being reorganized under the 
name of the Keystone Wall Paper Co., continued in a prosperous condition till 
1896, when it was absorbed by the National Wall Pajjcr Co.; after which he 
devoted his attention to the development of real estate. 

In 1895 he and his cousin Walter Smedley interested (Seorgc H. Roberts, 
president of the Penna. R. R., and a number of his friends, in the j)urrhase of 
over 100 acres of land jusc west cf Fairmount Park, on the Penna. and Schuyl- 
kill Valley R. R. An association was formed for the ini]irovement of the tract, 
with S. L. and W. Smedley as managers. A new station was erected on the 
property and called Wynnefield .Avenue in memory of the family of Dr. Thomas 
Wynne, the physician of William Penn, and in whose descendants the title to 
about half the property had remained till this purchase. This tract is now 
becoming one of Philadelphia's most attractive suburbs.

Ave., 500 ft. east of City Ave., Bala, which was a portion of the ground pur-

1642. Samuel L. Smedley' (Samuel, William, William, George, 
Georo-e), b. Edamont, 12, 29, 1832; was named Robert Pennell, but his 
father dyino- when he was less than two years old his mother changed his 
name to that of his father. He was carefully educated in select schools 
until his thirteenth year, when he entered Westtown Boarding School. 
Here he made such rapid progress that at the end of eighteen months he 
stood at the head of the senior class. He was then sent to Isaac Morgan's 
school in Germantown to perfect himself in the classics, but close application 
so injured his health that he was forced to return home, where he remained 
for several years upon the old homestead. Convinced that his health 
required an active out-door occupation, he determined to adopt the protes- 
sion of surveying, which was congenial to his tastes and a love for which he 
inherited. Accordingly, in the spring of 1853 he engaged with Joseph Fox, 
a noted city surveyor, who had laid out most of the northern portion ol the 
city, and had then recently been engaged to extend the city plan on the 
west side of the Schuylkill. Possessed of mathematical talent, and being 
an apt draughtsman, he soon mastered the minutiae of his profession, and 
his promotion was rapid. In 1856 he was engaged by the commissioners 
of Blockley to lay out the streets in that township. He also carried on 
conveyancing, and entered largely into the purchase and sale of real estate. 
About this time he published a complete atlas of the City of Philadelphia, a 
laborious and expensive undertaking, but one which was very successlul, 
and the book remains to this day a standard work for conveyancers, and is 
highly prized by them. In 1858 he was elected a member of the Board 
of Surveyors, and was subsequendy chosen by the people of the district lor 
three terms of five years each. 

In 1 87 1 his name was presented to the Republican State Convention as a 
candidate for the position of Surveyor-General of the State. The novelty 
of naming a professional surveyor for that position met with much favor, 
but the policy of placing soldiers upon the ticket prevailed, and General 
Robert B. Beath was nominated and elected, being the last to hold the

office, as by the provisions of tlie new Constitution it was merged into that 
of Secretary of Internal Affairs. In 1872 Samuel L. Smedley was elected by 
the City Councils to the responsible office of Chief Engineer and Surveyor 
for the term of five years. His feelings on this occasion are indicated by 
the following letter to his brother : 

Philadelphia, Mar. 151H, 1.S72, 3 p. M. 
Mv Dear Brother, 

The election of Chief Engineer iV Surveyor came olT yesterday, and resulted in my elec- 
tion. I received the full Republican vote of 60, with 22 votes for .-Mfred Voimg and 4 for T. 
Hastings DuPuy. Some communications from the Reform Association occasioned discussion, 
but the vote resulted triumphantly in my favor. This morning I resigned my position on the 
Park, and also as Surveyor & Regulator of the nth District. I took my qualification at 
I o'clock, before the Mayor, with cousin Samuel W. present. .My certificates were made out 
and at 2 o'clock I took ]wssession and am now regularly installed Chief Engineer and Surveyor 
of this great City of Philada. 

I grieved because I lost the nomination <jf Surveyor General last Spring, but I can now see 
that the words of my consolers, "that it would all be for the best," is really true. My political 
experience at that time has been oi great value to me in becoming acquainted with men and 
measures, and I can in a great measure attribute my success to my experience and notoriety at 
that time. Less than two weeks ago I never dreamed of this, and here I am. Taking it alto- 
gether I think it one of the most remarkable of successes umler considerable adversity. 

Affectionately, thy brother, 

To \Vm. P. Smedley. Sa.\i'-. L. Smedlf.v. 

To this position he was re-elected by Councils in 1877, i8S:> and 1887, 
soon after which the office, by a change in the law, became subject to the 
appointment of the Director of Public Works; but at the end of his fourth 
term he was continued in office by Director James H. Windrim, who desired 
to retain his services as long as possible. Failing health, doubtless caused 
by his arduous labors and the accompanying mental strain, necessitated a 
rest, in 1892, and this was followed by his resignation ol the ])osition, 1,21, 
1893 ; whereupon his first assistant, George Smedle)- Webster, was ap- 
pointed to succeed him. 

During his incumbency Samuel L. Smedley had charge of many exten- 
sive public works, among which were the building of the Penrose Perry 
bridge, the iron cantilever bridge at Market Street, and the Fairmount and 
Girard Avenue bridges ; of which the last is one hundred feet wide, one 
thousand feet in length, and cost $1,500,000. He also planned the Walnut 
Street bridge, which has been completed by his successor. 

In 1865 he visited Europe on a tour of recreation and study, and returned 
impressed with the thought that Philadelphia, to keep pace with other great 
cities, should avail herself of her great natural advantages for establishing a 
grand park for the enjoyment of the people, and he entered with enthu-

siasm into the prospect of securing Lansdowne, an estate of one hundred 
and fifty acres, from its Enghsh owners, as a nucleus for the park, and was 
largely instrumental in bringing about the purchase of that beautiful section 
of land as a pleasure-ground for the public. He was appointed by the 
Park Commissioners to make the original surveys of the territory embraced 
in the Park, and many of the walks and drives therein were designed and 
laid out by him. After 1S72, as a Park Commissioner by virtue of his 
ofifice, he was active in securing improvements to the territory under the 
control of the board. A pet scheme ot his was the construction of a 
gravity railroad in the Park, by which people could be conveyed around 
and through the western section so as to bring the grand views within the 
reach of the masses. For this the surveys were made and the project 
seemed near realization, but owinsf to financial disturbances it failed of sue- 
cess at that time. This was before the advent of the trolley roads, one 
of which, the Park Trolley, follows substantially the lines then laid down. 

It was largely through the suggestion and earnest solicitation of Samuel 
L. Smedley that Jesse and Rebecca George, the owners of "George's Hill," 
gave to the city this beautiful addition to Fairmount Park. Among other 
benefits which the city owes to him, was the tunneling of an underground 
passage for the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad in front of Fairmount Park, 
thus securing the safety and beauty of the Green Street entrance to this 
grand pleasure-ground. 

Largely under his direction there were built four hundred and seventy- 
six miles of sewers, including the Cresheim Creek aqueduct, with the 
extraordinary span of one-hundred-and-sixteen-foot stone arch, which is 
next to the largest in this country. He planned the Manayunk intercepting 
sewer, commencing below the Fairmount Water Works, and following the 
east bank of the Schuylkill to Manayunk and the Wissahickon Creek to 
Germantown. He also raised the grade of Market Street west of the 
Schuylkill, thus bringing that beautiful part of West Philadelphia within easy 
access of the centre of the city. 

He was a member of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania since 1857, 
and for fourteen years was its recording secretary. He took much interest 
in local history and genealogy, and began the collection of records of the 
Smedley Family, thus forming the ground-work of the present volume. 
He was also a member of the Numismatic and Antiquarian Society of Phila- 
delphia ; honorary member of the Delaware County Institute of Science ; 
member of the Academy of Natural Sciences, the Franklin Institute, and 
of the West Philadelphia Institute ; of which last he was for many years a

director and secretary. In addition he was a member of the American 
PubHc Health Association, of the executive committee of the Philadelphia 
Social Science Association, the Engineers' Club of Philadelphia, the Amer- 
ican Society of Civil Engineers, and of the Union League and other 
political clubs. 

For perhaps thirty years he made his home in West Philadelphia, in the 
vicinity of 33d and Powelton Avenue, and for a great part of this time 
boarded with Mrs. M. E. Dunsmoor. His death took place at her home, 
118 N. 34th Street, and the interment at Middletown Meeting (Orthodox). 
Delaware Co., Pa., on the 25th of 7th mo., 1894; those in attendance pro- 
ceeding by rail to Media, and thence by carriage to the grounds. 

His membership in the Society of Friends had been transferred from 
Chester Monthly Meeting by a certificate which w-as received at the 
Monthly Meeting for the Northern District, Philadelphia, 7, 24, 1855, and 
one from the latter, dated 6, 21, was received at the Western District, 7, 20, 
1870. While not taking an active part in the affairs of the church, he was 
a regular attendant at meetings on the first day of the week. Earnestness 
of purpose and a conscientious performance of his duties were strong 
characteristics which led to success, and his affable manners endeared him 
to those with whom he had business or social relations. The ties of con- 
sanguinity with him were strong, and in all family gatherings he was a 
leading spirit. 

The resignation of the office of Chief Engineer and Surveyor by .Samuel 
L. .Smedley was received with regret by the city officials, and resolutions oi 
eulogy and of friendship and esteem were passed on February 6th, by the 
Board of Surveyors. These were followed on Feb. 16, 1893, by a highh' 
appreciative series of resolutions by both branches of City Councils, which 
spoke flatteringly of his efficient and faithful services. Those coming from 
the Board of Surveyors, with whom he had been so long and intimately as- 
sociated, were especially gratifying to him, and being beautifiilly engrossed 
on several sheets and handsomely bound into a volume, formed a valued 
memento of the closing of his ofificial career. Reduced to plain type they 
read as follows : 

THE BOARD OF SURVEYORS 

Of the City of Philadelphia, 

February 6th, 1893. 

Whereas, The Board of Surveyors has been oflicially notified ot the 

resio nation of Samuel Lightfoot Smedley from the position ot Chief Engi- 

neer and Surveyor, held by him for nearly twenty-one years, it is fitting that

628 THE SMEDLEY FAMILY. 

At the age of 14 George S. Truman went to reside in Delaware Co., Pa., 
to learn the business of a farmer. After marriage he settled on the farm 
connected with the Sharon Boarding School, near Darby, removing thence 
to Wayside, in Upper Darby, the property of John Sellers, and thence to 
Loudoun Co., Va., where he took charge of the boarding department of the 
school founded by Samuel M. Janney ; but owing to the feeling then 
existing in the South on the subject of slavery he remained but one year, 
when he returned to Penna. and for several years was engaged as farmer, 
teacher, clerk, etc. In 1870 he removed to Nebraska to accept a position 
as farmer at Santee Indian Agency, under the administration of Friends. 
Here he remained five years, when a change deprived him of his position 
and he removed to a farm which he had purchased in Platte Co., which he 
has since made his home. For two years he represented his township in

b. West Nantmel Twp., 6, 3, 1S15; dau. of Abraham Harle)- and Catharine 
Grubb. He .setded in East Coventry; v^'as a cooper by occupation; moved 
to Pottstown in 1885. Not long before his death he wrote down for his 
son an account of his maternal grandfather, Stephen Agard, the son of an 
English planter in Barbados. The son came to Philadelphia, engaged in 
the wholesale and retail grocery business, and married the daughter of 
Judge William 1-ewis. Upon the death of his father he went to Barbados 
to settle up the estate, and with a large cargo of merchandise set sail for 
Philadelphia, but when near the capes they were captured by pirates, who 
murdered all on board except Stephen Agard and the captain. These they 
carried to a foreign port aiid cast them into a dungeon, from which they 
were released after their captors had sailed away. With broken health 
young Agard managed to reach his mother's home at Barbados and there 
died a few weeks later, leaving his widow and two infant daughters, Martha 
and Louisa Agard, in Philadelphia. Judge Lewis took care of his grand- 
daughters and gave them a good education, after which they accompanied 
their mother to visit her uncle in Edgmont; and here they became 
acquainted with George Green, Jr., and his cousin Samuel Green, who lell 
in love with the young women. George Green, Sr., was a wealthy farmer 
for that day but thought a city lady was not suited to be a farmer's wife, 
and forbade his son George to marry Martha Agard ; having selected the 
daughter of his neighbor, Joseph Bishop, for his son's wife, and threatened 
to give him nothing if he persisted in his desire. Judge Lewis opposed the 
match for similar reasons, and the result was an elopement. The stern 
father adhered to his vow till near the close of his life, and the young 
couple had to struggle with the world as best diey could.

Leger, b. county Clare, Ireland. The incomplete and inaccurate account on 
page 651 was taken from an almost illegible writing. Their son Lycurgus 
gives a clearer statement, together with some traditions received from his 
father. He thinks his grandfather came from Ayrshire, Scodand, and 
learned the tanning business with the father of Gen. Wayne; served in the 
Revolution under the latter and was wounded at Monmouth. These state- 
ments are questionable, as George McNeely was not married till 1797-8,

Church, Philadelphia, Sept. 11, 1795. 

These look like German names, but nothing further has been learned ol 
the individuals.

Barrett, 1671, were also his children. 

John Smeadley, brother to Baptiste, had a son born 1646, who married 

Sarah and d. Oct. 1675. This name has long since been extinct. 

Isaac Shepherd married Mary Smeadley, 1667. 

The History of North Brookfield, Mass., gives more details in regard to 
the killing of Samuel Smedley by the Indians. It appears that Capt. 
Thomas Wheeler, of Concord, with about twenty men, went to Brookfield 
to look for the enemy and were fired upon from an ambusli, with the result 
that eight were slain and others wounded. 



The history of Williamstown, Mass., by Arthur Latham Perry, LL. D., 
whose wile was a Smedley, gives many items of lamily history, as follows: 

When the Rev. Peter Bulkley, of the parish of Odell, Bedfordshire, in the 
diocese of the Bishop of Lincoln, emigrated to this country with a consider- 
able number of his English congregation, and settled with them in Concord 
in 1636, there were two brothers in his church, both admitted freemen in 
Concord in 1644, namely, John and Baptist Smedley. John was the elder, 
and became the more prominent in church and state. He was representa- 
tive to the General Court in 1667 and 1670, and was senior selectman in 
1680. A colony went early Irom Concord to Fairfield, Connecticut; and 
Samuel Smedley, undoubtedly a son of John, appears in Fairfield in 1690. 
The name soon became extinct in Concord, so that the historian of that 
town knew nothing of any Smedleys anywhere; but this Samuel, of Fair- 
field, preserved the seed of a large family in Connecticut. His son, Samuel 
2d, was born in 1702, married Esther Kilborn Feb. i, 1729, and died Feb. 
16, 1756. He had moved from Fairfield to Woodbury, and from Wood- 
bury to Litchfield, and bought a farm in 1741, "at y*" south End of y*^' Great 
Pond" (now Bantam Lake in Morris), of fifty-four acres, from which all of 
his eleven children with one exce*ption, losluia, the youngest, became sooner 
or later residents of Williamstown; the sons, John, Nehemiah, Jedidiah, 
Samuel 3d, Moses and Aaron; and the daughters, Esther, Jemima, Ann and 
Lucina. 

Samuel 1st, of Fairfield, had certainly one other son, Ephraim, and Eph- 
raim had Ephraim, Junior, who was born in 1746, and married Ann Gibbs 
Jan. 28, 1767, and died May 20, 182 1. He was the ancestor of the New 
Haven Smedleys, expressmen there, some of whom have strikingly resem-

bled in physiognomy the Williamstown Smedleys. The Gibbs family, with 
which the Smedleys much intermarried, v/ere neighbors of theirs on Bantam 
Lake. The most distinguished scion of the Smedley name in America was 
Captain Samuel Smedley, of Fairfield, perhaps another son of Kphraim ist, 
who was a fighting sea-captain during the Revolutionary War. Major 
Hincks, in some sketches of the men of the Revolution, says of him: "Capt. 
Samuel Smedley sailed upon the Atlantic as commander of the brig De- 
fense, perhaps the most successful vessel in the Colonial Navy. He cap- 
tured many prizes, among them the British ship Cyrus, mounting eighteen 
guns and laden with a cargo that sokl for about /^20,coo, one of the most 
valuable captures made during the Revolution. After the war Capt. Smed- 
ley was for many years Collector of Customs for this district, residing and 
having his office at Fairfield." He w^as a Democrat in politics. President 
Jefierson appointed him to this office in 1801. He left some valuable 
papers, now in possession of the city of Bridgeport. In England, too, the 
Smedley family have continued to be somewhat notable in the eastern and 
northern counties. Frank E. Smedley, author of the "Colville Family," 
and other tales, is a writer of reputation at the present time (1894); and we 
are told that the family circle in the sanctuary at Westminster Abbey have 
been Smedleys for several generations. 

As a sample of man\- more, we will just trace the fortunes for a few years 
of house lot No. i, whose front is now covered by the beautiful stone build- 
ing of the Delta Psi Society, and ran along South Street as far as the pres- 
ent land of Deacon James Smedley. In the original drawing this lot iell to 
Samuel Brown, Junior, of Stockbridge, who belonged to one ot those lour 
English families first brought thither by the action of the General Court for 
the encouragement and support of the Indian Mission. Brown held the lot 
but a short time, and then sold it to Ezekiel Hinds, a resident o{ Stock- 
bridge and a soldier at Fort Massachusetts, who sold the same to Samuel 
Smedley, of Litchfield, Connecticut, Oct. 31, 1752, for ^27. Consequences 
important to Williamstown in the sequel followed upon this sale of No. i 
from Hinds to .Smedley, "husbandman" to "husbandman;" for one result 
of it was that three young men from Litchfield, Nehemiah Smedley and 
William Horsford and Josiah Horsford, the first the son and the tw-o others 
later the sons-in-law of Samual Smedley, came up here probably in 1753 to 
look the ground over. They liked it, but they did not like the increasing 
signs of a renewed French and Indian war. They returned to Connecticut, 
and not very long after enlisted in a military company raised by that colony 
to protect itself from Indian incursions, by helping Massachusetts garrison

THE SMEDLEY EAiMILY. 



the "West Hoosac fort," so-called. Afterwards all three of these young- 
men became very prominent in the settlement. It was believed and re- 
ported by his eldest son, Levi, in his old age, that Nehemiah Smedley set 
out the first orchard in town on No. i in 1754; it was at any rate in full 
bearing in i 765. After the death of the father, Samuel Smedley, No. i was 
deeded to Nehemiah by the widow and eldest son, John, March 21, 1758. 
Precisely when Nehemiah Smedley built the house on No. i, whether it 
were before or after he became the sole possessor, cannot now be told ; it 
was a "regulation" house, and its sills were of white oak; it had been in- 
corporated early in this century into a larger gambrel- roofed house, which 
had become old itself and was taken down in 1884 to make room for the 
Delta Psi Lodge; the present writer found then and there pieces of two of 
the old oaken sills, and bits of them are preserved in the historical museum 
in Clark Hall; and he hazards little by the opinion that those sills had lain 
there at least one century and a quarter undisturbed. 

No. I continued to be the homestead of Nehemiah Smedley till after 
1765, when the next stage of our story will begin, since that is the date of 
the incorporation of West Hoosac under the name of " Williamstown;" and 
in the mean time five brothers and four sisters of Nehemiah came up from 
Litchfield to become dwellers in West Hoosac. 

John Smedley, eldest son of Samuel of Litchfield, was born Jan. 4, 1731. 
By 1768 he had become so prominent and prosperous a citizen of Williams- 
town as the proprietor of the chief saw-mill of the place, and of the two best 
pine lots, and several meadow lots on the Lower Hoosac as well as of 
house lots Nos. 29 and 48. By a concession in 1763, the proprietors per- 
mitted him to take the water for his saw-mill out of Broad Brook at the 
north end of the present bridge, and to carry it across the public road. In 
the warrant for a proprietors' meeting, issued in February, 1768, one of the 
items of business was, "To chuse a Committee to Sew John Smedley for 
Not making the Bridge when he turned the Brook." But at the meeting 
itself, in March, it was "Voted not to sew John Smedley." 

He married Deliverance Humphreys, and they had eight children, three 
born in Litchfield and five in Williamstown. One only was a son, John ; 
the seven daughters all lived to be married; Deliverance to Joel Baldwin, 
Amy to James Fowler, Amelia to Samuel Hawkins, — these three continued 
to live in Williamstown : Mary to John Boynton, who moved to Cornwall, 
Vermont; Huldah to Warren Gibbs, who moved to Middlebury, Vermont; 
and Tryphena to Richard Kinney, and Olive to Moses M'^Master, and both 
oi these families removed to Georgia, Vermont. Mrs. Baldwin lived here 



THE SMEDLEYS OF NEW ENGLAND. 907 

to old age, and went by the name of "Aunt Dill" in the neighborhood 
where she dwelt, but finally migrated with her grandnephew, Lemuel, to 
Great Bend, Pennsylvania, within the memory of some now living. 

John Smedley, Junior, married Elsie Williams, dau. of Nehemiah Williams 
who lived by the big rock near the Pownal line, on the Northwest Hill, and 
witnessed some of the surrendering soldiers of Burgoyne filing down the 
opposite Pownal Hills. Smedley's home was not far from his father's, on 
fifty-acre lot No. 6, of the first division, which holds the famous Sand .Spring; 
and the second John Smedley was the first known owner of that watering- 
place, which has had a vicissitudinous history as such ; and the tradition is 
still stirring, adown its appropriate lines, that old Aaron .Smedley, born in 
1750, who was a vagrant hunter, living mostly in Vermont, used, on his 
visits to his relatives in Williamstown, to frequent his nephew's rude 
bathing-place for the benefit of his eczema. A third John Smedley, son of 
John, Junior, born April 21, 1780, married Mary Morse, moved afterwards 
to Clinton County, New York, returned to Williamstown in 1822, and then 
moved to Allen County, Ohio, where he died. This Smedley is more inter- 
esting on account of his posterity than from anything in his own biography. 
His daughter Lois, born March 12, 1783, was married to Reuben Stetson at 
Cornwall, Vermont, in July, 1801, and thirteen children were the fruit of 
that union. Mrs. Stetson died the last day of August, in 1866. One of 
her sons, named Lemuel Stetson, after one of her brothers, Lemuel 
Smedley, the same who took " Aunt Dill " in her old age, from Williams- 
town to Great Bend, Pennsylvania, became the father of Francis Lynde 
Stetson, born April 23, 1S46 (Williams College, 1867), distinguished as a 
lawyer in New York, and particularly as bringing into his law firm President 
Cleveland, at the close of his first administration. F. L. Stetson's mother 
was Helen Hascall ; and his father was in political life in the State of New- 
York all the time (nearly) from 1S35 to 1862. 

When the new meeting-house was built and seated, in 1768, the youngest 
member of the building and seating committee, Nehemiah Smedley, was 
thirty-five years old. The enterprise and business capacity and general 
good judgment of this comparatively young man were recognized by the 
proprietors in his selection to serve upon these two important committees. 
No portrait or other likeness at all of this Smedley has been preserved to 
posterity. Strange to say, no headstone was ever erected over his grave, 
and even the place of his burial, within the limits of th(! graveyard, is un- 
known. He was not even a member of the church, in which his son and 
grandson served an aggregate of seventy-five years as deacons, and in 



9o8 THE SMEDLEY FAMILY. 

which one of his great-great-grandsons is now a deacon. His personal 
education was shght, as is manifested in his personal papers, all of which 
are preserved, and are the property ot the writer ; and yet, it may well be 
questioned whether any one of the original proprietors of Williamstown — 
save only each of his two senior colleagues of the church-building committee 
— exerted upon the tov^n a more wholesome and pervasive influence. He 
made such an opening here as rendered feasible and desirable the subse- 
quent coming and setding of five brothers and four sisters. He acquired 
property easily, and both retained and increased it. He built his first house 
and planted his first orchard on the front of house lot No. i, and the next 
door to the west of him was the first tavernEtand of the little hamlet ; and 
it is quite possible, perhaps even probable, that the first five or six families 
who settled in Bennington (about twenty persons in all) in June, 1761, who 
certainly came over the Hoosac Mountain on horseback in that month, and 
passed through West Hoosac, and so on through Pownal, tarried over 
night at this tavern and in the small houses adjacent to it. At any rate, 
Mary Harwood, then just sixteen years old, was in that little company, 
which was led by Peter Harwood, her brother, ten years older than herself. 
Another Brother, Eleazer, two years younger than Peter, was also along; 
and two brothers Robinson, Leonard and Samuel, Junior, from Hardwick, 
and Samuel Pratt and Timodiy Pratt hom Amherst, were the only other 
adults in the party. It is much more likely than not that a part of these 
persons lodged one night in the tavern, another part in the West Hoosac 
Fort opposite, and still other persons in one or more of the houses on 
Hemlock Brook close by. 

It is possible that Nehemiah Smedley opened his bachelor hall to one or 
more of these pioneers into the regions beyond, and that thus, or otherwise, 
he gained, at this time, a speaking acquaintance with Mary Harwood. If 
not, then such acquaintance was not long delayed; for in two years time, at 
most, Mary Harwood became Mrs. Smedley, and mistress of the "regula- 
tion" house on No. i. Levi Smedley, their first-born, enlivened the scene 
in the aforetime bachelor hall on Oct. 8, i 764. Seven other children rap- 
idly lollowed, about half of them born in the new and large house (still 
standing) near the junction of the Green and Hoosac rivers. Indeed, the 
heavy oak timbers of this new house were lifted into their place on the 
eighth birthday of little Levi; that is to say, Oct. 8, 1772, and Harwoods and 
other friends from Benninyton came down to the "raisine. " The war was 
drawing on; and Captain .Smedley, twelve years older than his wife, was 
away from home much ol the time for several years, which, of course, in 



THE SMEDLEYS OF NEW ENGLAND. gog 

such times, increased the cares and anxieties of tlie mother with her Hltle 
flock; and just eight days before she became thirty-seven years old, she 
passed away into a reahn unvexed by wars, and leaving her youngest born, 
Samuel, but nine months old. In less than a year thereafter, Captain 
Smedley married an old acquaintance and neighbor of the Smedleys in 
Litchfield, Mrs. Lyman Gibbs, and one son crowned this marriage also, 
James, born Dec. 23, 1783. 

Nehemiah .Smedley made .several purchases of land at different times, and 
at his death, in 1789, in the fifty-seventh year of his age, the "Homestead 
Farm" contained 177 acres; beside wliich he had a sixty-acre lo*^ and a pine 
lot of three acres. His whole estate was valued at ^1566 : 13'. His chil- 
dren were Levi, Elijah Moses, Elisha, Samuel and James. 

After the father's death the two eldest sons carried on die large farm for 
many years in company, and both brought up large fami'ies under the one 
root in harmony; but they finally resolved to divide bet" een themselves the 
farm which they had jointly increased by considerable purchases of land, 
and especially by the "Luce lot," at the same time resolving to take no out- 
side counsel over the division, and to make no after complaints about it in 
any case. This mutual understanding was carried out in the letter and 
spirit of it to a good old age of both parties. Levi naturally took the home- 
stead and died in 1849, aged eighty-five. He and his wife, Lydia Gibbs, 
from Litchfield, united with the church in 1792, and he became a deacon in 
1828, and served twenty-one years. Elijah Smedley and his wife, Lucy 
Gibbs, a cousin of the other, united with the church in 1793. After the 
division these lived in a house southeast of the old homestead, and both died 
there in an honored old age. Asahel F"oote (Williams College, 1827) mar- 
ried their daughter Mary, assumed the care of the farm, taught a successful 
private school in the house for many years, became a deacon in the church 
in 1838, and died in the old house in 1882. Charles Rollin P'oote (Williams 
College, 1859), now a citizen of California, was their only son. 

Moses and Elisha, sons of Nehemiah, migrated early to Hinesburg, V^er- 
mont. George, the son of Elisha, returned to Williamstown in 1856, and 
bought the Kellogg farm, next east of the old homestead. Frederic George 
(Williams College, 1864), now a prosperous lawyer in New York, still own- 
ing and occupying in summer the old Kellogg farm, is his only son. 

Samuel Smedley went from here to New Lisbon, Otsego County. N. Y., 
but James, the youngest son of Nehemiah, who married Emily Wheelock, 
daughter ot John Wheelock, who was a drummer-boy in the Revolution, 
became like his father-in-law, a pious man and a good citizen, both in Hines- 
burg, Vermont, and in Lockport, New York. 



gio THE SMEDLEY FAMILY. 

Of the children of Deacon Levi Smedley, Levi, born in 1795, inherited 
the farm in due time, Hved a long and useful life upon it, represented his 
town in the General Court for one year, and did good service in forwarding 
the cause of the Hoosac Tunnel, then before the legislature. He did not, 
however, show the vigor and enterprise as a farmer and citizen that the 
good deacon exhibited before him; and the good deacon himself was, per- 
haps, inferior in those respects to the good Captain Nehemiah. The 
"Western fever" struck, at last, Chauncey, Levi's son, after he had owned 
and operated the ancestral acres for half a lifetime, and he sold out and 
migrated <■■ Illinois, and his son, Leveus Smedley, is now a farmer in Indi- 
ana. The deacon's youngest son, James, born Dec. i, 1804, spent his whole 
life in Williamstown, except for two brief intervals, and died on Good Fri- 
day, 1892, in his iighty-eighth year. 

Like his father:' before him, he, too, dwelt among his own people. His 
lot in life was com; T.ratively obscure, not succeeding well in the medical 
profession, which he learned in his youth, on account of abnormally quick 
sensibilities, which would not allow him to sleep whenever he had a critical 
case on his hands. He fell back early on the life of a small farmer and 
fruiterer. He was chosen a deacon in the church in 1838, and served in 
conjunction with his father for eleven years, and then onward for forty-three 
years longer. During the long period of fifty-four years of an unbroken 
deaconate, this good man was not absent from his place at the memorial 
table more than two or three times all told. Next to the native church, of 
which he stood an unblemished member for just seventy years, his interest 
centred in Williams College, which he watched very closely all his life. He 
attended the commencement of 1810, and all the succeeding commence- 
ments but five up to and including that of 1890. He studied one year in 
College, and then passed to the medical school at Pittsfield, at that time a 
department of the College, at which he was regularly graduated in 1829. 

Deacon Smedley married Lucy Bridges, a granddaughter of Colonel 
Simonds, and thus, in one way, these two sturdy stocks were engrafted into 
each other ; and her brother, Samuel Bridges, intermarried also with Irene 
Smedley, a sister of the deacon ; and a number of the present families in 
Williamstown sprang from these two unions. The deacon's eldest daughter, 
Mary, married A. L. Perry (Williams College, 1852); and Grace Perry 
(Wellesley, 1881), Bliss Perry (Williams, 1 881), Walter Perry (Williams, 
1887), and Carroll Perry (Williams, 1890) are of that line; while Lucy, the 
deacon's youngest daughter, was united in marriage to Jonathan Wadhams 
(Williams College, 1867). Another of Deacon James's sisters, Lydia, born 



THE SMEDLEYS OF NEW ENGLAND.

and bred like him by tlie riverside, married Noah Sheldon (Williams Col- 
lege, 1 81 5); and two of their sons, Charles and Samuel (both Williams 
College, 1847), were honored in their graduation, one with the Philosophical 
Oration, and the other with the Salutatory. Another of these sisters mar- 
ried Manning Brown, a native of Cheshire, and a successful farmer and 
manufacturer in Williamstown and Adams; and their son, Timothy M. 
Brown (Williams College, 1859) has long been a prominent citizen and 
lawyer in the city of Springfield on the Connecticut River. Deacon James 
Smedley's widow, her son William and wife, who care for her in her extreme 
age, and two orphan children of her youngest son, Edward, who was in the 
Signal Corps on Commodore Farragut's flag-ship in the battle of Mobile 
Bay, a son and a daughter, are the only persons in Williamstown bearing 
the name of Smedley as the nineteenth century drav;s to a close. What a 
contrast in point of numbers as compared with the close of the eighteenth 
century here ! 



Elisii.v R. Smedley, born 1827, a farmer near North Lansing, Michigan, 
writes to the following effect : 

"I think I can trace my genealogy back to 1767. Furthermore, I have 
always been told many years ago that there were three brothers came over 
from Enfdand in 1682. Two of them setded in Mass. and became farmers. 
Their names were Levi and Elijah: bodi lived on one large farm very har- 
moniously for years together. I think George was the one that went to 
Pennsylvania. My father's father, Samuel Smedley, born in 1767, came 
from Mass. to Vermont, where he worked a farm, and on that farm my 
father was born in 1798. He was a blacksmith; married in Weybridge, 
Vt., in 1819, and came to York State in 1822." 



Nath.vn Smedley, born at North h'ast, Erie Co., Pa., June 6, 1831, and 
now of 138 Wells St., Chicago, traces his descent from Ei'HR.mm Smedley, 
who, as shown by the records at Litchfield, Conn., was the son of Samuel, 
and married Concurrence Hurd, of Woodbury, Conn. They had issue: 
Concurrence, b. 1740; Ephraim, b. 1742; Gideon, b. 1745; Damaras, b.

b. 1755; Mary and Sabra. 

Of the above Nathan was born at Wallingford, Ct.: died 1802; had issue:

SMEDLEYS OF KENTUCKY. 

Aaron H. Smedley, of Hutchison, Bourbon Co., Ky., writes thus: 
" My grandfather, Aaron Smedley, with several brothers, came to Ky. 
some time after the Declaration of Independence, it is said from Pa.; grand- 
father setding on a tract of land near where the city of Paris now stands, 
his brother Morgan Smedley locating south of Lexington somewhere in 
this State; another brother locatinof still further south, from whom 'tis said 
sprung the Smedley family of Paducah, Ky. Morgan Smedley's branch of

the family, I think, are located near Fort Spring, Fayette Co., Ky., and there 
is or was the family of John L. Smedley in Harrodsburg, Ky. The only 
member of that family I know of is a maiden lady who was postmistress for 
many years. She would doubtless know something to interest you. My 
father, Aaron Smedley, Jr., had three brothers. Morgan, Daniel and .Samuel. 
Morgan and Daniel located near Jacksonville, 111., and but few of their 
descendants are living; but John A. G. Smedley, of Jacksonville, 111., if liv- 
ing, could give you some interesting data, perhaps. Samuel Smedley, my 
father's youngest brother, after leaving Paris, K)., lived a numbc-r of years 
in Johnson Co., Ky., but we have lost run of his family, as he only had one 
son, Samuel, and he is long deceased. You might possibly gain some in- 
formation from Jacob Smedley, of Fort Spring, Ky., or his brother George 
Smedley. My father once had a record of his family, running back more 
than a centur)- ; but unfortunately his eldest sister, having it in possession 
alter his death, in some way lost it in changing residence, and she never 
ceased to bemoan her loss, as it was highly prized. 

"My father, when a merchant, bought his goods in Philadelphia, and knew 
and claimed relationship with them and they with him, but that has been a 
long time and of course they were some of the older Smedleys. My eldest 
brother, John, is a merchant and visits Philadelphia twice a year, and is 
acquainted with the merchants of our name."

The father of this family was an intimate friend of Henry Clay, and in 
1844 a grand barbecue was held on the Smedley farm in honor of the 
statesman, then a candidate for the presidency in opposition to James K. 
Polk. 

Owing to the late date at which the foregoing information was received 
there was not time to make further inquiries. It seems probable that these 
were a branch of the New England Smedleys.

OTHER RECENT IMMIGRANTS. 

The late Samuel L. Smedley, under date of 6, 26, 1861, wrote thus : 
Visited William Smedley, an Englishman, fancy hosiery manufacturer, 
9th and Prime Streets, Phila. He was born at Melbourne, in Derbyshire, 
England, anno 181 1 ; came to Germantown, Pa., in 1845 : married Hannah 

, in 1832, and has a son William, aged about 17. 

His father was Thomas .Smedley, who lived and died in Melbourne. His 
death took place in 1833, aged 44. His grandfather was Theophilus 
Smedley, born at Long Whaton, Leicestershire, and died in 1835 ^"^ '^< over 
90 years old. He was five feet eleven inches in height, and a smart active 
man. His great-grandfather, also named Theophilus, was 5 ft., 11 in. in 
heieht, and would read without crlasses when over 100 years of age. He 
was a great reader and arguer on the Scriptures. He was born at Redford 



„2o THE SMEDLEY FAMILY. 

and lived at Long Whaton in Leicestershire, and died in the year 1823, 
about 105 years old. 

They were all Baptists and a robust family. His grandfather had 
brothers, John, Michael, James and Samuel, three of whom lived to be over 
70 years old. The latter generations, from intermarriages, are not so long 
lived. 

His father had one brother, Theophihis, who died unmarried, and sisters, 

Ann, who married Wooten (or Hooten), Sarah, who married James 

Shaw, Mary and Jane, all deceased. 

His father thought Smedley to be a Saxon name. William thinks the 
principal seat of the Smedleys in earlier times was in and about Notting- 
ham. There is an old mansion called Smedley Hall, about two miles N. E. 
of Manchester, in Lancashire, now much in ruins and occupied by several 
poor families. 

A family, say Thomas and William Smedley, lived at Stableford in Not- 
tinghamshire. When he was a boy he went with his father to visit a 
Thomas Smedley who kept a hotel at Matlock, in Derbyshire. By tracing 
their ancestry they found they were distantly related. 

About Redford the inhabitants are nearly all farmers. At Nottingham is 
a Quaker meeting. A Mr. Fox is a leading and influential man among 
them. At Derby are two Quaker meetings. Robert Longdon is a leading 
Quaker and with his sons have very extensive silk hosiery manufactories. 
There is a Quaker meeting at Melbourne. 

A relative of his, a fancy hosiery manufacturer, went west, he thinks to 
Milwaukee: thinks his name was John. He met a Smedley at Trenton in 
1856; he came from Newstead Abbey: he w-as a game-keeper and 
gardener, a distant cousin of his. His family also came originally trom 
Redford. Another Smedley, an English lace-maker, moved from Kensing- 
ton to the west some years ago. 



1879: Called on Jo.seph Smedley, grocer, &c., 32d and Market. He 
came from Ashby-de-la-Zouche, Leicestershire, in 1869; was born there in 
1839; son of William, born 1796; grandson of John, who came from Red- 
ford, Nottinghamshire. He has eight brothers, two of them in Australia,

Australia and his son is an architect in Hong Kong, China. His uncle 
Thomas lived at a place near Nottingham and left his son Samuel there. 
His grandfather lived at Melbourne before settling at Ashby-de-la-Zouche.

Sept. 17, 1890: W. Hillaycock, aged 24, a native of Belper, Derbyshire, 
England, came to America three years ago; boards at 2315 Sansom Street; 
has worked on Penna. Rail Road as trackman; came to incjuire if I knew 
Samuel Smedley, an iron-founder, who left Belper back in the 50's, and he 
understood he lived in Philada. (I knew of no such). He was son of 
Frederick, whose four sons, Samuel, Frederick, Ebenezer and John, be- 
longed to Congregational Church. The last three, in 1863, started iron 
foundries and now have two establishments, employing 900 men : make 
fire-places and machinery for cotton mills and for brickyards. John traveled 
in America in 1886, and when he came home lectured for the churches. 
This year he went to Palestine. All three are married. John has no chil- 
dren; the others have. John is about 50 years old and the others are 
older. They are very well situated financially. John and Ebenezer have 
been in the municipal council and school board.

Smedley Hall was once the seat and property of the last of die family ot 
Cheethams of Cheetham. It is now owned by James Hilton, Esq., A. D. 
1795. See Aiken's History of Manchester, Phila. Library. Note: The 
Hall is on the Rochdale road, about one and a quarter miles north of Man- 
chester, in Lancashire. 



The arms of the Smedley Family are thus described in Burke's Armory : 
Ermine, a chevron lozengy, azure and or. Crest: an eagle's head, erased, 
sable. 

In no work accessible to the compiler has he been able to find any history 
of the particular branch of the family using these arms. 



Mk. Richard Smedley, in i 744, founded almshouses at Ilkerton, a small 
market town in Derbyshire, on the borders of Nottinghamshire, 9 miles 
from Derby, 8 from Nottingham and 128 from London (the market granted 
A. D. I 251), for six poor persons, and endowed them with pensions of five 
pounds per annum each. Mr. Smedley gave also ten pounds per annuni 
for the education of 40 poor children, etc. He resided in Risley Parish. 
See Lyson's Magna Britannia, v. 193. 



.Q2 2 THE SMEDLEY FAMILY. 

In August, 1S84, Dr. W. R. Batt copied the following inscription from a 
tablet in a cloister of Westminster Abbey : 

In memory of the | Reverend Edward Smedley, A. M., | Rector of Pow- 
dersdale and North | Bovey in the County of Devon, | and from 1774 to 
1820 one of the ushers of Westminster School. | Born Nov. 5, 1750; died 
August 6, 1S25. 

Also of Hannah his wife, | daughter of George Bellas, Esq. | Born Aug. 
21, 1754; died Oct. 17, 1824. ] This tablet is erected by their surviving 
children. 



Rev. Edward Smedley was born about 1789, and was the son of the 
Rev. Edward Smedley who died In 1825, after having been one of the ush- 
ers of Westminster School for nearly half a century. The elder Smedley 
was the author of "Erin, a Geographical and Descriptive Poem," published 
by subscription in 18 10. His son was admitted a King's scholar at West- 
minster in iSoo, and thence removed in due course to Trinity College, Cam- 
bridge. He took his degree of B. A. in 1809 as tenth Junior Optime, and 
having obtained one of the Member's Classical Prizes in 1810, and again in 
181 1, was then elected a Fellow of Sidney College. He obtained no fewer 
than four of the Seatonian Prizes for English Poems ; the first on the death 
of Saul and Jonathan, 18 14; the second on Jeptha, 181 5; the third on the 
marriage at Cana, 1827; the fourth on Saul at Endor, 1828. In 1829 he 
was collated by Bishop Tomlin to be prebend in the cathedral church of 
Lincoln, the value of which, however, was only ^14 a year; and this was 
the only ecclesiastical j^referment he ever obtained. Beside his Seatonian 
prize poems he was the author of a poem entitled " Prescience " and some 
others ; and also of a History of the Reformed Religion in France, in five 
vols., 12 mo., and of one volume of a History of France, published under 
the superintendence of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge. 
At the time of his death he was the editor of the Encyclopaedia Metropoli- 
tana ; and he contributed several articles on French biography and English 
and Roman literature to the earlier volumes of the Penny Encyclopaedia. 
His death took place at Dulwich on the 29th of June, 1836. — From English 
Encyclopaedia, vol. 5, p. 539.

ENGLISH NOTES. 923 

Beech Lodge, Great Marlow, Berks, was born at Marlow, Oct. 4, 18 18, and 
died at Beechwood, near Marlow, May i, 1864. He sprung from a good 
old English family who for two or three generations had intimate relations 
with Westminster School (his grandfather and his cousin were well-known 
masters there and there his father had been educated). At 14 years of age 
he was placed under the care of a private tutor, the Rev. Charles Millett, 
resident at Brighton, but returned home to pursue his studies under tlie eye 
of his cousin. Rev. E. A. Smedley, one of the Westminster masters before 
mentioned. He had a very acute perception of the ludicrous, and his con- 
tribution of "Scenes from the Life of a Private Pupil " to Sharpe's London 
Magazine was so successful that the proprietor of the miscellany suggested 
an extension of the story, which was finally published under the tide of 
" Frank Fairleigh." His second and perhaps the most popular of his works, 
entitled "Lewis Arundel, or the Railroad of Life," also first appeared in the 
same magazine, of which he had assumed the editorial guidance. Subse- 
quent publications were the "Fortunes of the Colville Family," and " Harry 
Coverdale's Courtship." 

He left a considerable estate, of which he devised his residence. Beech 
Lodge, with the furniture and an annuity of /'500 to his mother, and a like 
annuity of ^500 to his cousin Menella Bute Smedley (a distinguished 
authoress). To his cousin, Mrs. Hart, he gave ^2000 towards the building 
and endowment of a church at Glen Alia, Donegal, Ireland, in lieu of a leg- 
acy to her, at her own request. After several other liberal bequests to 
friends, relatives and his servants, he made his cousin, Menella Bute Smed- 
ley, his residuary legatee. 

The following item appeared in the Evening Bulletin, Philadelphia, 
July 6, 1864: 

It is said of Frank Smedley, the English story writer, who died recently, 
that he was so badly deformed that he could indulge in no active exercise, 
not even walking, and yet by a curious antithesis to his normal invalid con- 
dition, the whole bent of his taste was in the direction of manly power, feats 
of physical prowess, bold action and daring enterprise. Mr. .Smedley not 
only was never on a horse's back in his life, but never even saw a race or a 
race-course ; yet from reading, conversing, and the power of a vivid imag- 
ination and a singular skill in reproducing the descriptive facts he gathered 
from more physically favored people, he wrote the best account of the 
Derby races that has ever appeared. 



Q24 THE SMEDLEY FAMILY. 

Edward S. Smedlf.y, of Sleaford, Lincolnshire, author of " Lost Friends 
found Again," an officer of Inland Revenue for twenty-five years, wrote to 
Samuel L. Smedley, of Philadelphia, Nov. 4, 1864, in regard to his knowl- 
edge of the family history. His great-grandfather, George Smedley, was 
the father of Joseph, who lived to be 80 years old. Joseph had sons- 
Edward, John (who had a son John), William (who had sons Thomas and 
William), and George (who had sons William and Joseph). Edward 
Smedley, born 1768, d. 1853, lived and died at Stapleford, Nottingham- 
shire. He was the father of John, Edward S., Fannie and Matthew 
Smedley, of whom the last died in India. Edward S. Smedley was born at 
Stapleford, Notts., Nov. 2, 181 5, and had two daughters and a son. 
"Stapleford, where all his family lived, is in Notts., and Sandiacre, in 
Derby, are only a mile apart, and Smedley is one of the oldest names in 
that locality." 



The Manchester directory for 1863 contained the names of Charles 
Smedley, salesman, David Smedley, beer retailer, Elizabeth Smedley, house- 
holder, Elizabeth Smedley, householder (again), Nathan Smedley, quilt 
manufacturer, and William Smedley, tobacconist. Also the localities ol 
Smedley Lane, Smedley Bank, Smedley Vale, and Smedley New Hall. 



In an article on Hydropathy, in the Encyclopedia Britannica, it is stated 
that the need of a radical adaptation of its methods to the weaker class of 
invalids was first adequately recognized by John Smedley, a manufacturer, 
of Derbyshire, who, impressed in his own person with the severities as well 
as the benefits of "the cold water cure," practiced among his work-people 
a milder form of hydropathy, and began about 1852 a new era in its history, 
founding at Matlock a counterpart of the establishment at Grafenberg, in 
Silesia. 

W. P. W. Phillimore, the well known antiquary, of London, writing to 
the compiler within the past year, says : 

"I thought Smedley was fairly common, but then I am a native of Not- 
tingham and have often been in Derbyshire, which I should regard as the 
home of the Smedleys. Smedley's, too, is a huge Hydro at Matlock Bath, 
or rather at Matlock Bridge, the next village, a very ugly building and in 
many respects unique. Mr. Smedley built also for the benefit of his visitors 



NOTES FROM PARISH REGISTERS. 925 

a chapel in his grounds, and I was told, when there twenty or more years 
ago, that the service was compounded so as to meet (it possible) the re- 
ligious views of all. He built for himself a large house or castle on the top 
of a neighboring hill, which is a somewhat notable structure." 



Miss Matilda Smedly, an Ohio woman living in Paiis, has, through great 
perseverance, established an "American National Institute" in a temporary 
home at No. 50 Avenue d'lena, where the inauguration exercises lately took 
place. The lectures will begin next October. This institute was authorized 
by the State of New York in 1895, with Miss Smedly as Uirectrice Fonda- 
trice Generale. The United States Government has made an appropriation 
towards its maintenance, and th(; city of Paris has given a site for a perma- 
nent building worth ^250,000. The object of the institute is to afford Amer- 
ican students of both sexes w^ho have graduated from colleges in die United 
States opportunity to pursue their studies free of expense at the Prix de 
Paris. The provision for instruction embraces literature, painting, sculpture, 
architecture, music, science and dramatic art. A number of prominent 
French professors are interested in the institute, and have consented to take 
charge of the departments. The new building when finished is expected to 
accommodate two hundred students. — T/ic Ledger, Philadelphia, 'June 7, 
igoo. 

This lady writes her name Smedlee — perhaps a French form of orthog- 
raphy. No particulars of her ancestry have been obtained. 



The uncertainty as to the native parish whence came George Smedley to 
Pennsylvania, and the expense of a general search of the records, have pre- 
vented such action ; yet as many of the old parish records are being printed 
and indexed we may hope for the discovery of important information in the 
future, when those of Derbyshire are placed in this durable form. Philli- 
more & Co., of 36 Essex Street, London, are doing a great and exceedingly 
valuable work in this line. From one of their publications the following 
record of marriages is taken : 

Marriages in the Parish of St. Mary's, Nottinghamshire: 

Laurens Kytchin and Alice Kyrkewod, . . . Sept. 25, 1569. 
James Rotherani and Annes Smelley, . . . 26, 1569.

SMEDLEY WILLS h\ DERBYSHIRE. 

Having obtained abstracts of the Smedley wills, of Derbyshire, 1524 to 
1 700, through the assistance of my friend W. P. W. Phillimore, of London, 
I shall present a few extracts from his letters in explanation of the subject. 

July 19, 1900: "I find that in Lichfield Wills there are 15 Smcdleys be- 
fore 1650, and 15 Smethleys. The earliest is John Smetheley of Youlgrave 
in Derbyshire, 1524. The expense of getting these will be small and it will 
be safe, I think, to put these in hand at once without waiting for special in- 
structions from you. From 1653 to 1660 I must search in London. Ihe 
search for these (because S. is a heavy letter) will cost nearly as much as 



9 -'8 



THE SMliDLEY FAMILY. 



the abstracts at Lichfield. From 1660 to 1 700 we shall have (I think) to 
search the MSS. calendar at Lichfield, but I think it has been improved of 
late. You ought to have the Smcthley wills, for Smedley is but the cor- 
rupted form of the older word." 

July 30, 1900: " My agent has sent me a list of nearly 40 Smedley, etc., 
wills, beginning 1524, with siaellings of Smedley, Smethley, Smelley, 
Smaulle, Smyley and even Smedtheley. There were apparently two fam- 
ilies from 1524-30; one at Youlgrave, about 15 miles N. W. of Derby, and 
another at Elvaston, about 4 miles east of Derby. I have ordered abstracts 
of the first ten on list." 

Aug. I, 1900: "I send you the first ten Smedley Wills on the list which 
has been supplied me from Lichfield. I trust they will be of sufficient 
interest to justify abstracts of the rest being made. They were evidendy 
at this time a yeoman family." 

Oct. 10, 1900: "I now send you the following additional wills: Wm. S., 
Spondon, 1650, and 25 others. I am having list made and abstracts akso 
for 165010 1700 as regards Lichfield. For 1653-1660 London P. C. C. 
must be examined. I think this batch will interest you. It is evident that 
in the Smedleys we have a very local yeoman family. Some of the 
Smallys are evidently .Smedleys, but I know that in some cases die 
Smallyes became Smalls." 

Oct. 23, 1900: "I have pleasure in sending you the remainder of all the 
wills etc. of Smedley at Lichfield and hope you may find something of inter- 
est to you, though I do not see that they show the connecting link. It is 
evident that the Smedleys were a family of humble rank, tho' the occurrence 
of so many wills would indicate that they were for their position well to do 
and therefore we may presume them to have been an industrious people. 
Of course the registers of Spondon, Elvaston, Youlgrave, etc, would give a 
great deal more information and we might light upon the baptism of some 
one whom we could presumably identify with the emigrant. . . . Let me 
know if you would like the London wills searched for 1650-1700." 

Will of Jdhn Smethelev of Meddow Placke, p'sh Youlgreave, Co. Derby, dated 23, October

INDEX. 



In looking for names which are common to many individuals it will ba found more expeditious to search for 
a less common name of a near relative (if known), as for instance, the maiden name of wife or mother of the 
person sought for. The married names of females will not generally be found in this index; and th« same may 
be said of names on maps or other illustrations printed on a different paper from the body of the book. The 
Smedleys, under the various spellings ef the name, in the early English wills, are also omitted. Important 
references to a family name will precede the names of individuals in that family.
